First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether small composite attachments on molars used with clear aligners increase gum inflammation in teenagers. Researchers will measure inflammatory markers in gum fluid from 30 teens, comparing those with and without attachments. The goal is to understand if attachments create plaque traps that lead to more gum irritation.
