OrthoPulse Light Therapy for Teeth Alignment
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial is testing a light therapy device called OrthoPulse to see if it can help people with braces move their teeth faster. The study focuses on patients who are currently using braces. OrthoPulse works by using light to speed up the activity of cells in the mouth, which helps teeth move more quickly.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It is best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your healthcare provider.
Is OrthoPulse Light Therapy for Teeth Alignment safe for humans?
How is the OrthoPulse treatment different from other teeth alignment treatments?
OrthoPulse uses low-level light therapy (LLLT) to speed up the process of aligning teeth, which is different from traditional braces or aligners that rely solely on mechanical force. This light therapy involves using infrared light to potentially enhance the efficiency of tooth movement, making it a unique approach compared to standard orthodontic treatments.36789
