Inflammation in clear aligners with attachments
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at gum inflammation in people using clear aligners with or without small attachments on their teeth. It may help understand how aligners affect oral health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an orthodontic patient at the UNMC College of Dentistry.
- You are using clear aligners for your treatment.
- You are not pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 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 the teeth and gums are doing after a common orthodontic step called IPR (a slight smoothing between teeth) in people wearing clear aligners. It will help understand if this procedure keeps your mouth healthy.
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 study tests whether custom-made attachment composites improve the effectiveness of clear aligners for treating mild-to-moderate crowding or spacing. It may help you achieve better tooth movement during orthodontic treatment.
