About OrthoPulse
According to the company, OrthoPulse is a low-level near-infrared (NIR) light device that stimulates bone remodeling around tooth roots to support more efficient orthodontic treatment. It is FDA-cleared and clinically validated to reduce discomfort, improve predictability, and minimize treatment refinements and chair time.
“We are committed to making OrthoPulse an integral part of every orthodontic treatment plan,” added Abraham. “Our goal is simple—empower U.S. orthodontists to achieve better results, faster, while giving patients a more comfortable treatment journey.“
