Teens with braces get daily app nudges to fight plaque and gum disease

This study tests whether a mobile app that sends daily push notifications can help teenagers wearing braces improve their oral hygiene. Braces make it harder to clean teeth, leading to plaque buildup and gum problems. Researchers will compare three groups: app with reminders, app without reminders, and standard care. They will measure plaque levels, gum health, and changes in knowledge and habits.
