Comparing two dental glues for braces to prevent tooth spots
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a newer, simpler dental glue for braces causes less damage to tooth enamel than a standard glue used for over 20 years. It may help teenagers who need braces on their upper and lower teeth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial tests a new no-etching glue for braces. Half of your mouth will get the new glue, the other half a standard glue, to see which one holds the brackets better over a year.
This trial compares two different types of glue (adhesive) used to put braces on teeth. It aims to see which glue better prevents white spots on teeth during treatment. You will receive both glues on different sides of your mouth so the results can be compared directly.
This early-phase trial tests if a newer, faster-setting glue (bulk-fill composite) works as well as the standard glue for attaching braces. It's for people aged 13 to 40 who are starting or continuing fixed braces treatment.
This study tests a new type of tooth-colored filling material that may help strengthen your tooth from the inside. It compares a special 'bioactive' adhesive (which helps remineralize dentin) to a standard adhesive used in fillings after removing decay.
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.
