Invisalign Treatment Accelerated by Photobiomodulation
Volume 50 : Number 5 : Page 0 : May 2016
This month's Cutting Edge article describes accelerated orthodontic treatment using photobiomodulation (PBM), a low-level light therapy that has been shown to accelerate bone and connective-tissue metabolism for wound healing in medicine. One commercially available PBM device, OrthoPulse, uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that produce 850 nanometers of light (very near the infrared spectrum), offering a safer mode of treatment than with laser light.
