Braces and toothpaste: which one keeps your teeth whitest?
NCT ID NCT06833970
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 45 people with braces to see if different toothpastes change tooth color or cause white spots. Participants used one of three toothpastes: Colgate Total, Curaprox, or ROCS. Researchers used 3D scans and special fluorescence photos to measure color changes over time. The goal was to find out which toothpaste might best protect teeth during orthodontic treatment.
