The Effectiveness of Low-level Laser Therapy in Orthodontic Retention for Periodontal-compromised Patients

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on patients with chronic periodontitis during a post-orthodontic period for 12 months. Following aspects will be assessed: 1. Effects on tooth stability maintenance and bone remodeling. 2. Effects on periodontal inflammation status. 3. Effects on cervical dentin sensitivity and quality of life. The study design is a randomised controlled trail. To eliminate any bias, the investigator will initially hypothesis there is no significant difference in the aforementioned aspects between teeth retained with an adjunctive LLLT strategy and those retained in a conventional regimen.
