This trial tests if acupressure, a technique that applies gentle pressure to specific points on the body, can reduce pain from dental braces. If you or your child is getting braces and may have some pain, this study could offer a drug-free way to feel better.
This trial tests if a small device placed inside the mouth can ease pain from braces. You'll receive either real or fake treatment with the TENS device to see if it helps with soreness after adjustments.
This study compares three ways to manage pain after getting braces: acupressure (pressure on specific points), ibuprofen (a common pain reliever), and chewing gum. Researchers want to see which method works best for reducing the discomfort that often comes with new braces.
This study tests whether listening to music with special binaural beats (a type of audio that may affect brainwaves) can help reduce pain after getting separators placed for braces. You would listen to the music using headphones for 10 minutes after the procedure and rate your pain level.
This study compares three different treatments to reduce tooth sensitivity (pain when teeth touch cold, heat, or air) in people wearing braces. If your teeth hurt during orthodontic treatment, you may help researchers find the best relief option.
This study tests whether low-level laser therapy (a painless, non-surgical light treatment) can help teeth move faster and cause less discomfort during braces treatment. If it works, it could make your orthodontic experience shorter and more comfortable.
