Abstract

Dental malocclusions have been found to disrupt the balance of oral bacteria, contributing to the development of dental caries and periodontal diseases. Utilizing Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) can potentially restore biodiversity and ecological equilibrium in the oral microbiome, promoting optimal oral health. We propose that administering LLLT with a diode laser emitter emitting visible red light at a wavelength of 970±10 nm and power output of 100mW, can have a positive impact on the oral microbiome. With an exposure area of 6cm2 for a duration of 30 seconds per session (4 sessions per week), it may help prevent dental caries and periodontitis associated with dental malocclusion. We believe that LLLT has the potential to improve the biodiversity of the oral microbiome and promote good oral hygiene and integrity. This non-invasive treatment can serve as an effective therapeutic adjunct by stimulating the oral mucosa. Keywords: Dental Malocclusion, Dental Caries, Periodontitis, Low Level Laser Therapy
