Braces showdown: which bracket system wins for speed and comfort?

NCT ID NCT07318623

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two self-ligating bracket systems (Damon Ultima and Pitts 21 Pro) in 40 people with mild-to-moderate crowding. Researchers will measure treatment time, pain, root resorption, and alignment quality to see if one system works better. The goal is to find which braces offer a smoother, faster orthodontic experience.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Damon Ultima bracket system and Pitts 21 Pro bracket system

What this could lead to

If one bracket system proves faster or less painful, it could improve the orthodontic experience for patients with moderate crowding.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It compares devices, not a new treatment, so the impact is limited.
