Summary

This study tests whether coating small screws used in braces (called miniscrews) with an antimicrobial substance called K21 can reduce redness and swelling around the screw and help it stay firmly in place. About 30 people who need at least two miniscrews as part of their orthodontic treatment will participate. Each person will get one screw coated with K21 and one without, so the effects can be compared directly.
