Saliva stress markers and dental alignment severity
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at whether stress markers in saliva are linked to how severe a person's dental misalignment (malocclusion) is. It may help doctors understand the impact of alignment problems on the body's stress response.
