NCT ID NCT07280455

First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study tests whether a gold-plated retainer works better than a standard stainless steel one for keeping lower front teeth straight after braces. About 40 people aged 15-30 who just finished orthodontic treatment will get one of the two retainers and be followed for 6 months. The main goals are to see how well teeth stay aligned and how often the retainer breaks.
