Summary
This study looked at two methods to speed up tooth movement in people with braces. Sixty patients needing upper canine tooth retraction were split into three groups: one got a minor gum surgery (piezocision), one got low-level laser therapy, and one had standard braces. The goal was to see if these extra steps could shorten treatment time and reduce side effects like tooth rotation or anchor tooth movement.
