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.

- Your treatment plan includes a gentle filing between teeth (called interproximal enamel reduction or IPR).

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 looks at how safe and effective three different techniques for slightly sanding between teeth (called interproximal enamel reduction) are for people wearing clear aligners like Invisalign. It aims to see which technique is most accurate and best for gum health.
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 compares three different ways to clean clear aligners (like Invisalign) to see which keeps your mouth and gums healthiest. If you join, you'll use one of three cleaning methods and have your teeth and gums checked regularly.
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 clear aligners (dental trays that straighten teeth) to see how well they fit. It may help improve future aligner design.
