This study checks the safety and structure of Invisalign clear aligners used during orthodontic treatment. It looks for any harmful substances released from the aligners.
This study looks at how saliva (spit) changes during orthodontic treatment with traditional braces or clear aligners like Invisalign. It may help your orthodontist understand how these treatments affect your mouth's natural protection and comfort.
This study compares three different methods used to gently polish small amounts of enamel between teeth (called IPR) during clear aligner treatment, like Invisalign. It aims to see which technique is most accurate and best for your gums.
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 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 looks at whether wearing clear aligners (like Invisalign) releases tiny plastic particles (microplastics) into your mouth. If you are already being treated with aligners, your participation could help understand any health effects.
