Laser has been widely employed in health specialties, and its application in Dentistry is currently being evolved to benefit the patient with atraumatic and painless treatments, with better post-operative recovery, besides other advantages. Orthodontics may also be benefited from the utilization of laser, even though its application and effects are not well known by professionals. The aim of the present work is to present a literature review to provide orthodontists with information on how they may apply this energy to improve the quality of their work and the conditions for treatment, both for the professional and the patient.
