%X To determine the impact of laser treatment on the perception of pain in orthodontic patients during molar distalization, 18 patients (aged 13-18 years) were chosen from the Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Mansoura University, Egypt. Following the application of the eligibility criteria, only 15 patients were left in need of bilateral molar distalization; the same patient was used to measure the pain experienced during molar distalization in the quadrants of the control group and the laser group. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to assess the distinction, and SPSS version 20 for Windows and a t-test with P < 0.05 were utilized for statistical assessment of the data gathered from analysis. There was no difference in the patient&#39;s age or gender in terms of their pain experience scores (P > 0.05). The reduction in pain was statistically significant. The pain was statistically significant up until the third day. On the fourth day, there was no significant difference between the groups. Applying lasers is a non-compliance-dependent and efficient method that can lessen discomfort during orthodontic treatment.
