Teens with higher BMI may face more gum trouble during braces treatment
NCT ID NCT07217756
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 52 teens (ages 12–17) getting braces to see if having a higher body weight leads to more gum inflammation, white spots on teeth, and higher levels of certain mouth bacteria. Researchers will compare overweight and normal-weight participants by checking saliva, gum fluid, and dental photos at the start and after 6 months. No treatment is given—this is an observation-only study to understand risk factors.
