  Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of low-level laser with wavelength of 940 nm on acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement. Materials and Methods: This study was a double-blind randomized-controlled trial with split-mouth design. Fifty-five patients whose four first premolars were extracted for orthodontic treatment were randomly allocated to group A (n = 27) and group B (n = 28). Canine retraction was performed using the force of 150 g …
