Light therapy study for braces alignment in adults
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial studies whether Orthopulse light therapy (a form of light treatment) can help during orthodontic treatment with fixed braces. It’s for adults who need braces for crowded front lower teeth, and it will compare outcomes during the alignment phase.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Need orthodontic treatment using fixed braces (not removable braces)
- Have permanent adult teeth and front lower teeth crowding of about 4–10 mm
- Have Class I, II, or III bite alignment (not an “anterior crossbite”)
- Not be pregnant and not planning pregnancy during the study

This trial tests a personalized prevention program to keep your mouth healthy while wearing braces. It aims to reduce plaque and other problems that can happen with fixed braces.
This trial tests whether a technique called tiny “micro-punctures” in the jaw bone can speed up orthodontic tooth movement in people with moderate front-lower tooth crowding. It uses clear aligners and may help teeth move faster, but only if you meet the dental and medical safety requirements.
This trial compares two methods to speed up the retraction of upper canine teeth after premolar extraction for orthodontic treatment. One method uses tiny micro-holes in the bone, the other uses low-level laser or light therapy.
This study compares two approaches to move teeth faster during braces treatment: micro-perforations (small holes in the bone around teeth) alone versus micro-perforations combined with low-level laser therapy. The goal is to see if adding laser therapy speeds up tooth movement and reduces treatment time.
This trial tests SureSmile clear aligners to see how accurately they fix common bite problems like crowding, spacing, and overbite. You may be able to join if you need mild to moderate orthodontic treatment.
This study compares two different methods of straightening teeth: traditional metal braces and clear aligners. It will measure how well each system works for people with moderate crowding and which one gives better results.
