Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of OrthoPulse™, an intra-oral LED (Light Emitting Diode) photobiomodulation device, on orthodontic treatment time. This is a double-blinded RCT with half the patients receiving treatment from a sham non-functional device, serving as controls, and the other half receiving light therapy treatment from a functional OrthoPulse™. Orthodontic treatment time for the sham-control patients are compared to that of the OrthoPulse™ patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

OrthoPulse™

Subjects assigned to this group receive fixed orthodontic appliance treatment in conjunction with receiving daily OrthoPulse™ treatments.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Fixed Orthodontic Appliance Treatment

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients are treated for full mouth fixed orthodontic appliance treatment by the qualified Principal Investigator (PI). Treatment and follow-up appointments per the traditional practices of the PI and dental office.

OrthoPulse™

Intervention Type DEVICE

Patients carry out daily OrthoPulse™ treatments at home.

Sham-Control OrthoPulse™

Subjects assigned to this group receive fixed orthodontic appliance treatment in conjunction with carrying out daily non-functional OrthoPulse™ treatments (untreated control).

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Fixed Orthodontic Appliance Treatment

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients are treated for full mouth fixed orthodontic appliance treatment by the qualified Principal Investigator (PI). Treatment and follow-up appointments per the traditional practices of the PI and dental office.

Non-Functional OrthoPulse™

Intervention Type DEVICE

Patients carry out daily sham-OrthoPulse™ treatments at home. This is a non-functional device so patients do not receive photobiomodulation therapy.
