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.
This study tests whether low-level laser therapy can improve how far you can open your jaw and changes in jaw muscle activity in people with one-sided jaw muscle temporomandibular disorder (TMD). It may help reduce jaw movement limits related to that condition.
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 study compares two types of laser treatment to help people with chronic jaw muscle pain (myofascial pain). Researchers want to see which laser approach works better at reducing pain and improving jaw function.
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.
