Photobiomodulation- Accelerating Orthodontic Treatment

Dr. Prathamesh Fulsundar, Dr. Divij Joshi, Dr. Rachna Darak

Abstract :

InPhotobiomodulation ( low level light therapy) the cellular biology is modified by exposure to light in the red or near infrared range (600 to 1000nm)using low energy lasers or  LED’s, which increases the rate of bone remodeling  thus  accelerating the orthodontic tooth movement without causing  any side effects on the periodontium. The device used consists of a silicone mouthpiece, LED array and accelerometer. It can be used with any orthodontic treatment modality to increase the rate of tooth movement hence reducing the treatment time.Photobiomodulation causes accelerated tooth movement by increased bone remodeling.Hence it reduces the treatment time in orthodontic with lesser side effects as compared to other methods of accelerated orthodontics.
