Comparing two types of glue for braces in teens and adults
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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 retainers (a wire that keeps teeth in place) after braces are removed: one that is directly bonded to the teeth and one that is made indirectly. It looks at which type keeps gums healthy, lasts longer, and how likely it is to break.
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 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 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 trial compares a new digital method for putting braces on teeth to the usual manual method. If you need braces on both top and bottom and have all your adult teeth, this study may help improve how comfortable and fast your treatment is.
This study tests two types of tooth-colored fillings and a special glue for repairing worn spots on the sides of teeth near the gumline. It aims to see which material works best and lasts longest.
