Saliva secrets: do clear aligners or braces change your Mouth's chemistry?
NCT ID NCT07397871
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will compare how clear aligners (like Invisalign) and traditional braces change saliva flow, acidity, and buffering capacity in 40 adults. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments, and saliva samples will be collected at several points during treatment. The goal is to understand if one method is gentler on oral health.
