Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of 150 patients with class II malocclusions who underwent early orthodontic treatment between the ages of 7 and 10 years.
Article Synopsis
- A clinical trial with 60 orthodontic patients tested the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) alongside traditional braces on treatment duration and pain perception.
- The biomodulation group experienced a 30% reduction in treatment time, averaging 8.4 months, compared to 12 months in the control group, along with lower pain levels during adjustments.
- The study concluded that LLLT can effectively speed up tooth movement and reduce overall treatment duration in orthodontic patients.
