Laser therapy to speed up tooth movement and ease orthodontic pain
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether low-level laser therapy (a painless, non-surgical light treatment) can help teeth move faster and cause less discomfort during braces treatment. If it works, it could make your orthodontic experience shorter and more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 compares two treatments to see if they can safely speed up a specific tooth movement during braces. It tests a low-level laser or a minor surgical procedure called Piezocision against standard care.
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 a low-level laser treatment with standard painkillers to see which works better for reducing pain from getting braces. It is for Malay women aged 18-33 who have never had braces and are generally healthy.
This study tests whether a low-level laser (a gentle light treatment) can help your gums and jawbone heal better after your lower wisdom teeth are removed. It may reduce pain and speed up recovery.
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.
