Braces breakthrough? new study tests two ways to move teeth faster
NCT ID NCT07658235
First seen Jun 19, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026
Summary
This study compares two techniques to speed up the movement of upper canine teeth during orthodontic treatment: micro-osteoperforation (creating tiny holes in the jawbone) and photobiomodulation (low-level laser therapy). 75 people needing premolar extractions as part of braces will be randomly assigned to one of these methods or standard care. The main goal is to see which approach moves the canine tooth fastest in the first month and until the gap closes.

Active substance
Micro-osteoperforation (tiny holes in jawbone) and photobiomodulation (low-level laser light)
What this could lead to
If successful, these techniques could shorten the time needed for braces by accelerating tooth movement, making orthodontic treatment faster and more comfortable.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (75 people) comparing two methods against standard care. Results may not apply to all patients, and the procedures may not be widely available or covered by insurance.
