Impact of Photobiomodulation on Pain Associated With Orthodontic Treatment
Impact of Photobiomodulation on Pain Associated With Orthodontic Treatment With Clear Aligners or Fixed Appliances - a Retrospective, Multicentered Study
Study Overview
Detailed Description
Orthodontic treatment can cause pain. This type of pain is the most common reason why patients stop orthodontic treatment or don't follow the instructions from the orthodontist. A company called PBM Healing has made a dental device called PBM Ortho that is used inside the mouth like a mouthguard. This device uses light therapy called photobiomodulation (PBM) to help with healing, move teeth faster, and lessen inflammation and pain. Other research studies have shown that light therapy can help reduce pain that is caused by orthodontic treatment.
In this research study, information from patients' medical charts was collected from 7 dental clinics located in Japan. Some patients at these clinics were asked to use the PBM Ortho device every day for 1 week and to record how much pain they were having. Other patients that did not use this device were simply asked to record their pain level every day for 1 week. This collected information was used to see if the light therapy device could lessen this pain from orthodontic treatment.
