ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a specific laser treatment, called laser-aided circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy, can help patients with crowded teeth at the front of the lower jaw. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve the straightness and alignment of these teeth more quickly than traditional methods. If you are a female between the ages of 18 and 25 and have permanent teeth (except for wisdom teeth) with some crowding but no significant dental issues like cavities or gum disease, you may be eligible to participate in this study.

Participants in this trial can expect to receive the laser treatment in addition to standard orthodontic care. It’s important to note that this study is not accepting individuals with certain dental problems, major medical conditions, or those who have had previous orthodontic treatments. If you’re interested in improving your smile and want to learn more about this innovative approach, this trial may be a great opportunity!
