What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Summary

This study compares two self-ligating bracket systems (Damon Ultima and Pitts 21 Pro) in 40 people with mild-to-moderate crowding. Researchers will measure treatment time, pain, root resorption, and alignment quality to see if one system works better. The goal is to find which braces offer a smoother, faster orthodontic experience.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Damon Ultima bracket system and Pitts 21 Pro bracket system
What this could lead to
If one bracket system proves faster or less painful, it could improve the orthodontic experience for patients with moderate crowding.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It compares devices, not a new treatment, so the impact is limited.
