Testing New 3D-Printed Braces With Protective Coatings
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests experimental orthodontic aligners (a type of brace) that are 3D-printed with special coatings to fight bacteria and strengthen teeth. Researchers use extracted teeth to see if these new aligners work better than standard ones.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must provide extracted human teeth (teeth that have already been removed for other reasons like orthodontic or gum treatment)
- The teeth must be healthy with no visible cracks, breaks, fillings, or birth defects
- The teeth cannot have cavities or restorations (fillings, crowns, etc.)
- The teeth must not have been extracted because of disease affecting the tooth structure
- You must provide complete information about when and why each tooth was extracted

This study tests two different ways of making clear aligners (custom plastic trays that move your teeth). Researchers want to see if 3D-printed aligners work as well as traditional heat-formed ones for mild crowding or spacing.
This study compares two ways of making clear plastic aligners to straighten teeth. It looks at whether directly 3D-printed aligners work better than ones made by pressing a plastic sheet over a 3D model. This could be for people with mild to moderate teeth alignment issues.
This study compares how two types of clear dental aligners—one made with 3D printing technology and one made the traditional way—affect your bone health and how your teeth move. Researchers will measure bone changes over time to see if one method is better for your overall oral health.
This study tests a new type of 3D-printed clear aligner and how well it can control the way teeth roots move. It may be a good option if you have gaps in your teeth (not crowding) and do not need any tooth extractions.
This trial tests how your mouth reacts to a 3d printed retainer after braces. It may help you keep your teeth straight.
This study compares two types of retainers used after braces or aligners: one made with a 3D printer and another made with the usual method. It tests which one fits better and stays the same color over time, so you can know which option may work best for you.
