NCT ID NCT07503314
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared self-ligating braces (no elastic ties) with conventional braces to see which aligns teeth faster, changes arch width, and closes gaps after premolar extractions. Seventy people aged 13–30 with moderate to severe crowding took part. Results help orthodontists choose the best bracket type for treatment.
