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
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested whether photos taken with a smartphone can accurately track how teeth move during orthodontic treatment. 36 patients with braces who needed a tooth extraction took photos of their teeth, which were compared to professional 3D scans. The goal was to see if patient photos could reliably measure tooth movement over time, potentially allowing for remote monitoring.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simpler way for orthodontists to monitor tooth movement remotely using patient photos, reducing office visits.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The accuracy of patient-taken photos may vary.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
