Using a special camera to find early cavities after braces
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special camera can detect early cavities (white spots) on your teeth better than a regular look after braces are removed. If you join, you'll get extra check-ups over three months, and the results may help your dentist catch problems sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 11 and 46 years old.
- You have finished wearing fixed braces (orthodontic treatment).
- You have at least 4 early white spots (cavities that haven't formed holes) on the front surfaces of your front teeth or premolars.
- You do not have health problems that affect saliva or tooth enamel, and you are not taking medications that affect your mouth.
- You can attend follow-up visits over the 3-month study period.

This study tests new digital technologies—including a special camera called DIAGNOcam and AI software—to detect tooth decay early and accurately. If you have some cavities and healthy teeth in specific areas of your mouth, you may be eligible to help researchers improve how dentists find and diagnose tooth decay.
This study checks whether an optical coherence tomography scan—a quick, non-invasive imaging test—can help in dentistry for people who need orthodontic (braces/alignment) treatment. If you join, you’ll likely be scanned as part of the study and your dentist/doctor will compare results to see how useful the scan is.
This study tests whether special 3D imaging and intraoral scanning tools can help dentists better identify tooth decay and plaque buildup. Researchers want to see if these new methods work well and could improve how cavities are diagnosed.
This study tests a new way to look at cavities (tooth decay) during dental check-ups. If you have a cavity, taking part may help your dentist get a more accurate picture of it, which could guide better treatment.
This study tests whether a special dental scanner and 3D X-rays can find plaque and cavities better than a regular check-up. If you join, you'll help improve how dentists detect tooth decay early.
This study looks at how common white spots (early signs of tooth decay) are on the enamel of young adults who have had braces or clear aligners. By joining, you help researchers understand how to prevent these spots, and you get a free dental check-up of your enamel.
