Summary

The aim of this prospective clinical project will be to compare the effect of low-level laser therapy versus low intensity pulsed ultrasound on the rate of different orthodontic tooth movements

Detailed description

The aim of this prospective clinical project will be to compare the effect of low-level laser therapy versus low intensity pulsed ultrasound on the rate of different orthodontic tooth movements, specifically; canine retraction, incisors' leveling and alignment, maxillary molar distalization, and incisors' intrusion

Conditions

• Effect of Low Level Laser Versus Low Intensity Pulsed Ultra Sound on Rate of Different Orthodontic Tooth Movement by Millimeter

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	low-level laser therapy	LLLT and LIPUS has been found to speed up OTM by stimulating the RANK/RANKL/OPG system to initiate osteoclast formation.
