Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether using extra cleaning tools—like special brushes or water flossers—along with your regular brushing and flossing can keep your teeth and gums healthier while you have braces. It may help you prevent plaque and gum problems during your orthodontic treatment.
