NCT ID NCT07630818
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how applying orthodontic force (about 150g) to teeth affects oxygen levels in the tooth pulp. Researchers used CBCT scans and a special pulse oximeter on 35 patients aged 15-35 undergoing braces treatment. The goal was to understand how tooth anatomy and force influence pulp health, which could help make orthodontic treatment safer.
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 successful, this could help orthodontists apply braces more safely by understanding how tooth pressure affects blood flow.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study with only 35 participants. It does not test a treatment, so findings may not change practice directly.
