Shorter daily wear time for clear aligners in teens
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing clear aligners for a shorter time each day still works to straighten teeth in children and teens who have a mix of baby and adult teeth. If you qualify, you might help find a more convenient way to do orthodontic treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
