NCT ID NCT07307716
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test three ways to clean clear aligners: brushing with fluoride toothpaste, using chlorhexidine mouthwash, or using an oxygen-based cleanser. Twenty-one adults will try each method for one month to see how it affects bacteria and gum health. The goal is to find which cleaning method best prevents plaque buildup and gum problems during orthodontic treatment.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward the best cleaning method for clear aligners to reduce plaque and gum inflammation.
What could go wrong
