Spit test could replace needles for tracking braces progress

NCT ID NCT07303647

Summary

This study aims to see if saliva can be used to monitor bone changes in people wearing braces, which could lead to a simpler, needle-free way to track treatment. Researchers will collect saliva samples from 24 young adults with braces to measure changes in specific genes related to bone activity. The goal is to understand the body's response to braces better and explore if saliva could be a useful tool for routine check-ups.
