Treatment for teeth that stay in place
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at a treatment plan for people who have “retentive teeth,” meaning certain teeth are not coming through or are staying in a problem way. The goal is to see whether this approach works better for fixing that issue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have retentive teeth (teeth that are not in the usual position).
- You should be able to join the study’s dental evaluation visits.
- You likely must confirm your condition during a dental exam or imaging.
- You should not be enrolled if you do not have retentive teeth.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares how different face types maintain their bite after orthodontic braces are removed. Researchers will use 3D imaging to track whether teeth stay in their corrected positions during the retention phase (when you wear retainers).
This study tests different ways to restore back teeth (molars) that have had root canal treatment using custom-fitted caps called overlays. The goal is to find which design works best to protect these teeth long-term.
This study compares three types of retainers (a bonded wire, a clear plastic tray, and a combination of both) to see which one holds your teeth in place best after braces. It is for adults who have finished non-extraction orthodontic treatment and are generally healthy with good oral hygiene.
This study tests whether using a special type of retainer (bonded on the tongue side and the roof of the mouth) helps keep teeth stable after braces for people who had their upper and lower first premolars removed. If you're finishing orthodontic treatment and need a retainer, this study may apply to you.
This trial tests whether a new type of attachment (beveled) on clear aligners works better than standard attachments for moving teeth in adults. If you are getting aligner treatment and need certain tooth movements on both sides of your mouth, this study may help improve your results.
This study compares different ways to clean and disinfect a molar tooth that had a root canal before but now has a new infection. You may be a good fit if you have a back tooth with a lingering infection that needs retreatment.
