Remote monitoring for clear aligners in teens with mild learning difficulties
This trial compares two ways of managing clear aligner treatment for kids with mild intellectual disability: one uses remote check-ins (via phone or app) and the other involves going to the clinic in person. The goal is to see if remote monitoring works just as well, which could make treatment more convenient for families.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 11 or 12 years old
- You have been diagnosed with a mild intellectual disability (learning or thinking difficulty, but not severe)
- Your teeth are crooked or misaligned, and your dentist says they can be treated with clear aligners (not traditional braces)
- Your teeth problem does NOT require braces with wires attached to the teeth (fixed braces)

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 compares two types of clear aligners (dental trays that straighten teeth) to see how well they fit. It may help improve future aligner design.
This study tests whether wearing clear aligners for a shorter time each day still works to straighten teeth in children and teens who have a mix of baby and adult teeth. If you qualify, you might help find a more convenient way to do orthodontic treatment.
This study looks at how accurately clear aligners (invisible braces) move teeth. It is an observational study, meaning participants receive standard clear aligner treatment, and researchers track results. It may help you understand the benefits and expectations of clear aligner therapy.
This study tests whether clear aligners can fix a mild underbite in growing children aged 8 to 11. It compares how well the aligners move teeth and jaws compared to other treatments.
This study tests two types of clear aligners to see which one feels more comfortable and works better for patients with mild to moderate crowding. It may help decide which aligner material is better for future patients.
