Sensitivity relief during braces: three treatments compared
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests three different desensitizing treatments (applied to the teeth) to see which works best for reducing tooth sensitivity in people with braces. If you're experiencing sensitivity during your orthodontic treatment, you may receive one of these treatments and be followed for 12 weeks to see how well it helps.
