Abstract
Aim: The current study intended to determine the effect of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) on the overall leveling and alignment outcomes of mandibular anterior crowding.
Materials and Methods: The current study included 22 orthodontic patients (females) aged 16 to 23 years who had mild to moderate anterior lower crowding. The patients were randomly split into two groups. Group I: Eleven patients were treated with a removable clear aligner. Group II: Eleven patients treated with removable clear aligners with application of low-level laser sessions weekly for 7 weeks .
Results: The results show no significant difference in the Little Irregularity Index.
Conclusion: The Low Level Laser treatment aimed to accelerate the leveling and alignment of lower incisors with crowding, but the results showed no statistically significant difference compared to the non-laser group.
