Testing a new brace glue: does it hold better?
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new no-etching glue for braces. Half of your mouth will get the new glue, the other half a standard glue, to see which one holds the brackets better over a year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is testing how braces are attached to teeth (called bracket bonding) in adults who have not had orthodontic treatment before. It aims to see if a standard method works well for people who meet certain dental conditions.
This early-phase trial tests if a newer, faster-setting glue (bulk-fill composite) works as well as the standard glue for attaching braces. It's for people aged 13 to 40 who are starting or continuing fixed braces treatment.
This study compares two types of glue used to attach braces to teeth, to see which one better prevents white spots (demineralization) around the brackets. It may help teens get braces with less risk of tooth damage.
This trial tests a new gel called Epinamel to reverse white spots that form on teeth after braces are removed. If you recently had braces taken off and have white marks on your teeth, this study might help improve them.
This study compares two methods of preparing tooth surfaces before attaching orthodontic brackets (the small squares glued to teeth during braces treatment). Researchers want to see which method—using acid alone or acid plus sandblasting—keeps brackets bonded better to your teeth.
This trial tests a device called the Neo Pill to see if it helps keep teeth clean for people with braces. It compares the device to regular brushing and may help reduce plaque and gum problems during orthodontic treatment.
