| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Invisalign (7 day) | Device | Patients are are fitted with a ClinCheck plan by Align Technology by the qualified Principal Investigator (PI). Orthodontic treatment procedures carried out per the traditional practices of the PI and dental office. Aligners are switched every 7 days. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of tooth movement | Tooth position will be measured at the end of aligners 6 (4-6 weeks), 12 (8-12 weeks), 18 (12-18 weeks), at the end first series of aligners at refinement, and at the end of treatment. Rates will be measured end of use of each individual Invisalign time point in order to determine whether the application of photobiomodulation increases the rate of tooth movement with Invisalign treatment. | From date of enrolment until the date of completion of the last Invisalign aligner, assessed every 4-6 weeks up to 2 years |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Length of treatment time | Treatment time will be calculated as the number of days from the first day until the last day the subject wears Invisalign aligners. To evaluate whether the application of photobiomodulation decreases the total treatment time with Invisalign treatment, the measured length of time will be compared against the expected treatment time. | From date of enrolment until the date of completion of the last Invisalign aligner, assessed up to 2 years |
