Summary
This study compares two laser settings to the usual method for removing ceramic braces. Ten healthy adults who finished orthodontic treatment will have their brackets removed with a laser or the standard tool. Researchers will measure tooth temperature, enamel damage, and pain to find the safest, most comfortable approach.
