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.

This trial tests how well orthodontic brackets (the small pieces glued to teeth for braces) stay bonded to adult teeth. It is for people getting braces for the first time who do not need any tooth extractions (except wisdom teeth) and have all their permanent teeth.
This trial tests whether a newer, simpler dental glue for braces causes less damage to tooth enamel than a standard glue used for over 20 years. It may help teenagers who need braces on their upper and lower teeth.
This trial compares two different types of glue (adhesive) used to put braces on teeth. It aims to see which glue better prevents white spots on teeth during treatment. You will receive both glues on different sides of your mouth so the results can be compared directly.
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 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 tests a new type of tooth-colored filling material that may help strengthen your tooth from the inside. It compares a special 'bioactive' adhesive (which helps remineralize dentin) to a standard adhesive used in fillings after removing decay.
