Shorter wear time for aligners in mixed dentition
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing AirFlex aligners for a shorter time each day still works well for kids and teens who have a mix of baby and adult teeth. It aims to make orthodontic treatment easier for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 7 and 21 years old
- You have at least one baby tooth still present along with your adult teeth
- You have no untreated cavities
- Your gums are healthy as checked by a dentist
- You are not currently using certain medications that affect tooth movement (like NSAIDs, steroids, or thyroid medication)
- You are not pregnant, planning pregnancy, or using tobacco

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two different schedules for clear aligner treatment (invisible braces) to see which one feels better for patients. If you have a mild misalignment (Class I) and all your permanent teeth, you may be able to join.
This study compares two different ways of making clear teeth aligners—one using 3D printing and one using heat-shaping—to see which one fits better and stays accurate over time. If you have healthy teeth and gums, you may wear an aligner for 4–6 months while researchers measure how well it works.
This trial tests whether a new type of attachment (beveled) on clear aligners works better than standard attachments for moving teeth in adults. If you are getting aligner treatment and need certain tooth movements on both sides of your mouth, this study may help improve your results.
This trial looks at clear braces (aligner) treatment for straightening teeth, using remote monitoring and computer-guided (AI) check-ins. It may help by making treatment progress easier to track and adjust.
This study tests two different ways of making clear aligners (custom plastic trays that move your teeth). Researchers want to see if 3D-printed aligners work as well as traditional heat-formed ones for mild crowding or spacing.
This trial tests whether a technique called tiny “micro-punctures” in the jaw bone can speed up orthodontic tooth movement in people with moderate front-lower tooth crowding. It uses clear aligners and may help teeth move faster, but only if you meet the dental and medical safety requirements.
