Laser therapy for faster and less painful tooth movement with braces
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special laser treatment (low-level laser therapy) can help move your teeth faster and reduce pain while you have braces. If you're getting braces and need some teeth removed, this might make your orthodontic treatment more comfortable and quicker.
