Study of dental health after IPR with clear aligners
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how the teeth and gums are doing after a common orthodontic step called IPR (a slight smoothing between teeth) in people wearing clear aligners. It will help understand if this procedure keeps your mouth healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently wearing clear aligners (like Invisalign).
- Your treatment plan includes a gentle filing between teeth (called interproximal enamel reduction or IPR).
- You have all your permanent (adult) teeth.
- Your teeth and gums are generally healthy – no cavities, gum disease, or enamel problems.
- You are not pregnant.

This study uses imaging to look at how healthy your gums are and how much “plaque/biofilm” is in your mouth. It may help researchers better understand gum health and how oral hygiene affects it.
This study compares three different methods used to gently polish small amounts of enamel between teeth (called IPR) during clear aligner treatment, like Invisalign. It aims to see which technique is most accurate and best for your gums.
This study looks at whether wearing clear aligners (like Invisalign) releases tiny plastic particles (microplastics) into your mouth. If you are already being treated with aligners, your participation could help understand any health effects.
This study looks at gum inflammation in people using clear aligners with or without small attachments on their teeth. It may help understand how aligners affect oral health.
This study compares two types of non-surgical gum disease treatments for advanced periodontitis. One uses a newer method with a special gel (I-PRF) and sometimes a mouth rinse, and the other uses the standard method. The goal is to see which works better for reducing deep gum pockets and bone loss.
This trial tests if combining a special blood product (iPRF) with vitamin D can improve non-surgical treatment for advanced gum disease. If you have stage III periodontitis and are otherwise healthy, this study may help find a better way to manage your condition.
