Braces breakthrough? toothpaste and mouthwash battle to stop white spots

NCT ID NCT07325643

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

Summary

This study looks at whether a toothpaste or mouthwash containing hydroxyapatite can prevent white spot lesions (early cavities) that often appear during orthodontic treatment with braces. 75 people getting braces will be split into three groups: one using hydroxyapatite toothpaste, one using hydroxyapatite mouthwash, and a control group using standard fluoride toothpaste. Researchers will check for white spots and plaque over 6 months to see which approach works best.
