Summary

This study tests whether low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can speed up tooth movement and reduce pain during orthodontic treatment. Thirty people aged 15-30 who need braces will receive standard orthodontic care, with half also getting laser treatment. Researchers will measure tooth movement and pain levels over 8 weeks to see if the laser helps.
