Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
There is two groups :
1. treated with Low level laser therapy (LLLT)
2. treated traditionally without any irradiation Patients will be randomly allocated in any group and all data will be collected through photographs when leveling and alignment completed.
Also pain levels will be assessed using numeric rating scale to compare between the two groups and if laser really can relief pain or not .

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study will be accomplished with two arms, the first is LLLT arm and the other is the control arm without any active intervention.
Low level laser with a wave length of 830 nm, output of 150 mW, energy of 2 J per point and application time of 15 seconds per point will be applied on each tooth of the six upper incisors according to this protocol: the root will be divided into 2 halves; gingival and cervical. Laser will be applied in the center of each half from both the buccal and palatal sides which means 4 application points and a total energy of 8 j per each tooth.
Within the limits of our knowledge, this is the first study in the world that will study acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement with lingual orthodontic .

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Lingual orthodontics
Patients will be treated with lingual braces without being irradiation with low level laser therapy. Treatment will go forward in the normal manner. Archwires will be changed in the traditional way.
low level laser therapy
low level laser therapy will be used in order to induce tooth movement. low level laser with a wave length of 830 nm, output of 150 mw, energy of 2 j per point and application time of 15 seconds per point will be applied on each tooth of the six upper incisors according to this protocol: the root will be divided into 2 halves; gingival and cervical. Laser will be applied in the center of each half from both the buccal and palatal sides which means 4 application points and a total energy of 8 Joules/each tooth.
Lingual Orthodontics
Lingual braces will be used to conduct the orthodontic treatment of patients with moderate level of crowding on the upper dental arch.
Low level laser therapy
Patients will be subjected to low level laser therapy during their orthodontic treatment using lingual braces.
