The aim of this study is to determine the effect of OrthoPulse™, an intra-oral LED (Light Emitting Diode) photobiomodulation device, on orthodontic treatment time. This is a double-blinded RCT with half the patients receiving treatment from a sham non-functional device, serving as controls, and the other half receiving light therapy treatment from a functional OrthoPulse™. Orthodontic treatment time for the sham-control patients are compared to that of the OrthoPulse™ patients.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Orthodontic Treatment Time for OrthoPulse™ and Non-OrthoPulse™ Treated Patients. | The amount of time that spans between the start of a patient's orthodontic treatment to when the qualified investigator deems the case complete, in that malocclusion is completely resolved and an acceptable clinical outcome is achieved. | Participants will be followed for the duration of their orthodontic treatment, an expected average of 1-2 years, depending on the severity of the case. |
