3D imaging to prevent gum shrinkage during clear aligner treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special 3D imaging tool helps protect your gums from pulling back (receding) while straightening your teeth with clear aligners. Gum recession can expose tooth roots and cause sensitivity, so the trial is exploring whether better visualization during treatment planning prevents this problem.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- 18 years or older
- Want orthodontic treatment using clear aligners (not traditional braces)
- Have a normal or mild bite misalignment (dental class I, II, or III)
- Have 'black corridors'—visible dark spaces between your teeth and gums when you smile
- No severe gum recession already present (less than 2mm)
- No active gum disease or need for tooth extraction as part of treatment

This study looks at gum recession (when gums pull away from teeth) in adults, comparing those who had braces in the past to those who did not. It aims to understand if orthodontic treatment affects gum health.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive way to measure gum changes after a cosmetic gum reshaping (crown lengthening). It compares a 3D scanning technique to the current best method, to see which gives more accurate results.
This trial compares two types of gum surgery to cover exposed tooth roots when you have multiple adjacent gum recessions. It aims to find which approach works best for root coverage and long-term gum health.
This study tests a new volume-stable gum graft material to cover exposed tooth roots caused by receding gums. It is for healthy patients seeking treatment for gum recession on front teeth.
This trial tests if a special collagen scaffold placed during gum surgery can improve orthodontic treatment for people with thin gums. It may help protect the gums and bone during teeth straightening.
This study uses 3D digital scans to measure gum tissue changes after a gum grafting procedure. It may be helpful for people with receding gums on their lower front teeth.
