Official Title: The Effects of Extraoral Photobiomodulation on the Rate of Orthodontic Alignment

Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to determine if extraoral OrthoPulse®, which emits extraoral LED (Light Emitting Diode) photobiomodulation (PBM), reduces the time it takes to complete orthodontic alignment.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Biolux Research Ltd.

Current Primary Outcome: Rate of Orthodontic Anterior Alignment in Millimetres Per Week (mm/wk) by Means of Little's Irregularity Index (LII) for Extraoral OrthoPulse® PBM and Non-OrthoPulse® PBM Treated Patients. [ Time Frame: Participants followed for the time it takes to complete orthodontic anterior alignment, an expected average of 30-120 days from the start of orthodontic treatment, depending on the severity of the case. ]

Original Primary Outcome: To determine if extra-oral photobiomodulation, by means of the extra-oral OrthoPulse™, reduces the treatment time in the alignment phase of orthodontic treatment. [ Time Frame: Participants will be followed for the time it take them to complete orthodontic anterior levelling and alignment, an expected average of 30-120 days from the start of orthodontic treatment, depending on the severity of the case and whether tx or ctrl ]
