Testing a dental eye scan during orthodontic treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study checks whether an optical coherence tomography scan—a quick, non-invasive imaging test—can help in dentistry for people who need orthodontic (braces/alignment) treatment. If you join, you’ll likely be scanned as part of the study and your dentist/doctor will compare results to see how useful the scan is.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You currently need orthodontic treatment
- You (and a parent/legal guardian, if applicable) must be willing to join
- You must be able to give informed consent after the study is explained
- You must not withdraw your consent once enrolled

This study uses special cameras and imaging techniques to track early tooth decay spots that develop after orthodontic treatment (braces). By comparing different imaging methods, researchers hope to better detect and monitor decay early, when it's easier to treat.
This study tests whether special 3D imaging and intraoral scanning tools can help dentists better identify tooth decay and plaque buildup. Researchers want to see if these new methods work well and could improve how cavities are diagnosed.
This study tests new digital technologies—including a special camera called DIAGNOcam and AI software—to detect tooth decay early and accurately. If you have some cavities and healthy teeth in specific areas of your mouth, you may be eligible to help researchers improve how dentists find and diagnose tooth decay.
This study compares a new, radiation-free scanner that finds cavities to traditional X-rays. It may help find tooth decay without using radiation.
This trial tests a new handheld scanner that uses light to create a 3D picture of your teeth. It may help dentists make crowns more accurately without messy impressions.
This study uses an imaging scan called optical coherence tomography (a non-painful light scan) during surgery to map what “normal” eye tissue looks like. It may help improve how eye specialists assess eyes in the future.
