Ultrasound reveals hidden gum changes from retainers
NCT ID NCT07414264
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 53 people who had braces and then got a fixed lingual retainer (a wire glued behind the teeth). Researchers used ultrasound to measure gum thickness, bone levels, and other gum health signs at the start, 3 months, and 6 months after the retainer was placed. The goal was to see if the retainer causes any changes to the gums or bone over time.
