    Biolux Research, the developer of Light Accelerated Orthodontics™ technology and products, is pleased to announce two presentations on faster effective orthodontics and photobiomodulation in clinical orthodontic practice at the New Orleans American Association of Orthodontists, April 28, 2014.ADDITIONAL READING |Biolux Research announces clinical study results on safety of using photobiomodulation to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement The first presentation is "Will it Change with Faster Effective Orthodontics Treatment? A Discussion on Biotechnology." Presented by Chung How Kau, BDS, MScD, MBA, PhD, MOrth, FDS, FFD (Ortho), FAMS (Ortho), Cert (Ortho). Dr. Kau is chairman and professor at the Department of Orthodontics, University of Alabama at Birmingham, and is an accomplished orthodontist, researcher, educator, author, and international speaker in the world of orthodontics. Dr. Kau is a world leader in three-dimensional and translation research, including advanced imaging and software modeling techniques for orthodontic and skeletal treatment planning. His research interests also include the biology of orthodontic tooth movement, with the goals of reducing treatment timelines.ADDITIONAL READING |Biolux announces new clinical trial results for light-accelerated orthodontics

    The second presentation is "Photobiomodulation in Clinical Orthodontic Practice." Presented by Timothy G. Shaughnessy, DDS, MS, consulting orthodontist to Biolux Research. Dr. Shaughnessy is an American Board of Orthodontics certified orthodontist, a director of the Atlanta Orthodontic Study Group, and a distinguished presenter having lectured extensively throughout U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, and France on “Comprehensive Orthodontics.” Dr. Shaughnessy studied orthodontics at University of North Carolina School of dentistry, and has more than 25 years of private practice experience in Atlanta, Georgia.

    “We are honored to work with the high caliber of investigators, researchers and clinicians expanding awareness of photobiomodulation in the world of orthodontics, states Peter Brawn DDS, founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Biolux Research Ltd. “The research is showing a very significant effect in terms of accelerating tooth movement without any statistical difference in root desorption and safety issues that are normally associated with accelerated orthodontic treatment.” Patients have commented on a noticeable reduction in patient discomfort associated to orthodontic treatment. “We feel strongly that LAO™ Light Accelerated Orthodontics will provide a dramatic reduction in orthodontic treatment timelines with safety and is noninvasive. Please reference www.bioluxresearch.com for further OrthoPulse™ information. OrthoPulse™ is currently not for sale and expecting FDA approval first quarter of 2015.”
