Abstract: During orthodontic treatment, periodontal tissues including gingival, alveolar bone, periodontal membrane, and cementum are the support and foundation of tooth movement. Therefore, effective methods should be taken to treat periodontal tissue problems during orthodontic treatment. In recent years, laser has been paid more and more attention for its safe, minimally invasive, and highly targeted characteristics. It can be used to deal with various periodontal problems during orthodontics, such as peri-nail inflammation, periodontal disease, acceleration of alveolar bone remodeling, and acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement. This paper reviews the application of laser in this field, introduces the working principle and application direction, and provides the basis for better clinical application.
