Clear aligners vs. braces: which is safer for your health?

NCT ID NCT06685029

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether clear aligners (like Invisalign) release chemicals called bisphenol A (BPA) into saliva, which can affect hormones. Researchers compared three groups: aligners made by an orthodontist, standard aligners, and traditional braces. They measured BPA levels in 52 teenagers and young adults, and also checked how well each treatment worked. The goal is to help patients and doctors choose the safest option.
