First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether using a low-level laser along with a small gum surgery (called piezocision) can safely speed up moving front teeth back in people with overbite. 66 healthy patients aged 17-28 were split into three groups: laser plus surgery, surgery alone, or standard braces. The researchers measured root shortening and gum health on X-rays and exams to see if the combo is safer and faster.
