Laser or LED light for moving upper canine teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two types of light therapy, laser and LED, to see which one helps move your upper canine teeth faster and more comfortably during orthodontic treatment. It may help reduce treatment time and pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two ways to help your upper canine teeth move faster into place after premolar extractions: tiny holes in the bone or special light therapy. It aims to shorten your braces 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 methods of moving teeth after removing upper premolars (teeth used for chewing). It aims to find which approach works better for correcting bite and alignment issues.
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.
This study tests different methods to speed up the movement of front teeth after removing the first premolars. It may help you get your braces off sooner.
This study compares two ways of retracting the canine teeth after premolar removal to see which works faster or better. It may help us improve orthodontic treatment for people who need their upper canines pulled back.
