Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This open label study is designed to evaluate the ability of OrthoPulse™ to safely and effectively increase the rate of orthodontic tooth movement with fixed appliances.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary aim of this study is to determine if daily OrthoPulse™ use affects the rate of orthodontic tooth movement during alignment with fixed appliances in the mandibular arch.

The secondary aim of this study is to determine whether patients treated with OrthoPulse demonstrate root resorption beyond what is commonly expected during orthodontic treatment.

The study also aims to collect confirmatory evidence on the safety of the device.
