Abstract:Objectives:
This study aimed to clinically evaluate the efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in reducing pain associated with orthodontic movement during the early stages of treatment.
Material and Methods:
A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 20 participants undergoing non-extraction orthodontic treatment. The laser group (LG, n = 10) received LLLT (808 nm, 100 mW) immediately after appliance installation, while the control group (CG, n = 10) received no pain control intervention. Pain lev… Show more
