[0285]The invention is further described with reference to the following specific examples, which are not meant to limit the invention, but rather to further illustrate it.
[0286]A patient presents with an upper right first and second molar that have drifted forward due to a congenitally missing second bicuspid. The patient would benefit from having her teeth distalized. While a temporary orthodontic device (TAD) anchorage with an implant could be used to exert force to retract these teeth, heavy forces, without more, can cause the implant to fail prematurely.
[0287]The implant is installed, and light having a wavelength of about 850 nm and intensity of 70 mW / cm2 is administered to the implant and to the mandibular and maxillary alveolar bone surrounding the first and second molars only. The teeth and implant are pretreated with light for 10 minutes immediately prior to the activation of the TAD anchorage appliance, which administers a force of about 300 grams to the teeth (about 150 ...
