Which orthodontic wire hurts teeth roots least? a 3D showdown
NCT ID NCT07688655
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares three different sequences of archwires used in braces to see which one causes the least damage to tooth roots and the bone around them. Researchers used 3D scans to measure root volume and bone height before and after treatment in 53 people aged 16–25 with moderate crowding. The goal is to help orthodontists choose a wire sequence that straightens teeth effectively while minimizing side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If one archwire sequence clearly causes less root resorption and bone loss, it could become the preferred choice for safer orthodontic treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with 53 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The findings are observational and do not test a new treatment.
