Braces study to test which separator hurts less
NCT ID NCT07591454
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will compare two types of tooth separators—elastomeric and nickel-titanium—used before placing orthodontic bands for braces. Thirty patients with crowded teeth will have one separator type on each side of their mouth. Researchers will measure how well they create space, how much pain patients feel, and any gum inflammation over three days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Elastomeric separators and Nickel-Titanium separators
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help orthodontists choose a separator type that causes less pain and gum irritation for patients getting braces.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The study hasn't started yet, and findings may not change current practice.
