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 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 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 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 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 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.
