Interventions
The OrthoPulse device is intended to accelerate orthodontic movement of teeth and reduce the overall treatment time for the patient. The device is intended to be used in conjunction with traditional orthodontic treatment with brackets and wires or aligners. OrthoPulse is an intra-oral (iO), Light Emitting Diode (LED) based, phototherapy device for the stimulation of metabolic activity of the alveolar bone, and the acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement during orthodontic treatment. The device uses safe, high-power LED arrays to produce photons at therapeutic wavelengths in the near infrared (nIR) portion of the light spectrum. OrthoPulse is an established device that uses low levels of light energy to stimulate the bone surrounding the roots of teeth and facilitate tooth movement which may reduce treatment time for braces or clear aligners.
