First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study tests whether motivational interviewing, a supportive counseling method, can help teenagers aged 14-19 with braces improve their oral hygiene. Participants receive brief, non-judgmental conversations to set their own goals for brushing and flossing. Researchers will measure plaque, gum health, and cavities over 6 months to see if this approach works better than standard education.
