Summary
This study follows 52 teens (ages 12–17) getting braces to see if having a higher body weight leads to more gum inflammation, white spots on teeth, or changes in mouth bacteria. Participants are split into two groups based on their BMI (normal vs. overweight/obese). Researchers will check gum health, take saliva samples, and photograph teeth at the start and after 6 months. The goal is to understand if extra weight is a risk factor for oral problems during orthodontic treatment.
