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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a special camera can detect early cavities (white spots) on your teeth better than a regular look after braces are removed. If you join, you'll get extra check-ups over three months, and the results may help your dentist catch problems sooner.
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 tests a new scanner that can find cavities without using X-rays. It is for people who are already having a tooth removed, to see if the scanner works as well as traditional methods.
This study tests a new 3D scanner that takes detailed pictures of your teeth to help make dental crowns. It may be more comfortable than traditional methods.
This study tests a new way to look at cavities (tooth decay) during dental check-ups. If you have a cavity, taking part may help your dentist get a more accurate picture of it, which could guide better treatment.
