Clinical Trial: Labial White Spot Lesions And Proximal Caries Development In Orthodontic Patients Using Clear Aligners Versus Traditional Braces.

U.S., April 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07550179) titled 'Labial White Spot Lesions And Proximal Caries Development In Orthodontic Patients Using Clear Aligners Versus Traditional Braces.' on April 17.

Brief Summary: This randomized clinical trial evaluates the risk of developing early tooth decay in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with either traditional fixed braces or clear aligners. Because orthodontic appliances can trap plaque and make tooth cleaning difficult, patients are at a higher risk for developing early decay, such as chalky "white spot lesions" on the visible surfaces of the teeth and hidden decay between the teeth (proximal caries).
