Table 3. The Outcomes of the Included Studies .
Study ID | Outcomes |
Guram et al19 | LLLT can reduce the fixed orthodontic tooth movement duration. |
Dalaie et al20 | There was no significant difference in terms of tooth movement between the irradiated and non-irradiated sides at any time point (P >0.05). |
Kansal et al21 | There was no statistically significant difference in the rate of tooth movement during canine retraction between the laser group and the control group. |
Qamruddin et al22 |
Low-level laser irradiation can accelerate orthodontic tooth. Movement and the Canine retraction was significantly greater on the experimental side compared with the placebo side. |
Varella et al23 | LLLT-facilitated orthodontics is approximately 2 times faster than conventional orthodontics. |
Üretürk et al24 | Low-level laser application significantly accelerates tooth movement in humans and could shorten the whole treatment duration. |
Sousa et al25 | A statistically significant increase in the movement speed of irradiated canines. This might reduce orthodontic treatment time. |
AlSayed Hasan et al11 | LLLT, used with the described parameters, is an effective method for accelerating orthodontic tooth movement in dental crowding cases. |
Genc et al26 | The application of a low-level laser could significantly accelerate orthodontic movement in humans. |
Youssef et al27 | LLLT can accelerate movement during orthodontic treatment. |
Heravi et al28 | LLLT did not accelerate orthodontic tooth movement |
