This study tests whether applying a protective fluoride coating (a sealant) to your teeth can prevent white spots from forming while you wear braces. If it works, it could help keep your teeth healthy and spot-free after your braces come off.
This trial tests a special coating that releases fluoride to help prevent white spots from forming on your teeth while you wear braces. The coating is applied to the teeth before the brackets are attached.
This trial compares two tooth treatments to see which one works better for “white spot” areas that can appear after braces come off. If you have mild plaque buildup and at least one white spot on front teeth, you may be eligible to test one of these options and improve tooth surface healing.
This study looks at whether different dental adhesives (the glue used to attach braces) can help prevent white spots from forming on teeth during braces treatment. If you're getting braces, you might be able to join and help find a better way to protect your teeth.
This trial tests whether a special paste (MI Paste Plus) can reduce cavity-causing bacteria and prevent early white spots on teeth while you are wearing braces.
This trial tests a new gel called Epinamel to reverse white spots that form on teeth after braces are removed. If you recently had braces taken off and have white marks on your teeth, this study might help improve them.
