The effect of low-level light therapy on orthodontic tooth movement rate, heat shock protein 70, and matrix metallopreteinase 8 expression: Animal study

Conclusion: LLLT intervention during orthodontic treatment could accelerate OTM rate anddecreased HSP ‑70 and MMP‑8 expression both in tension and in compressive side. Thus, LLLTinterventions can be used as adjuvant therapy to shorten orthodontic treatment duration.
