NCT ID NCT07091422
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new adhesive for braces that doesn't require acid etching, which can weaken enamel and cause white spots. Twenty people getting braces will have one side of their mouth bonded with the new glue and the other side with the standard method. Researchers will track bracket failures, bonding time, and enamel health over 12 months to see if the new approach is safer and just as effective.
