NCT ID NCT06895083
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of braces—self-ligating and conventional—to see which straightens teeth faster and causes less discomfort. It involves 30 people aged 14 to 20 with mild to moderate crowding who do not need tooth extractions. Researchers will measure how much teeth move each month and ask participants to rate their pain on a scale from 0 to 10.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
self-ligating brackets
What this could lead to
If self-ligating brackets prove faster and less painful, they could become the preferred option for routine orthodontic treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Pain and speed vary widely between individuals.
