Light-emitting diode (LED) photobiomodulation vs Conventional orthodontic appliance treatment

Duration of orthodontic treatment: alignment stage (mandibular arch) · Adolescents and adults with malocclusion undergoing fixed orthodontic appliance treatment

It is very uncertain whether light-emitting diode (LED) photobiomodulation changes duration of orthodontic treatment: alignment stage (mandibular arch) compared with conventional orthodontic appliance treatment (very low certainty).
