Gum bacteria showdown: which aligner edge wins?

NCT ID NCT07533058

First seen Apr 28, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at how the edge of a clear aligner (the part near the gums) affects the bacteria living in the gum pocket. 39 people finishing their orthodontic treatment will wear aligners with two different edge designs at the same time. The goal is to see if one design leads to more harmful bacteria than the other, helping dentists choose better aligner designs for gum health.
