JMIR research protocols · Kendre S, Daigavane P · 2026-10-02

A newly developed spectacle-mounted device for locating the mandibular condyle is being tested for accuracy, then evaluated alongside low-level laser therapy in children with skeletal class II malocclusion receiving myofunctional appliance treatment. Phase 1 validation is underway; phase 2 will compare laser therapy guided by the device versus conventional unguided treatment.
