Testing Treatments for Sensitive Teeth in Braces
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares three different treatments to reduce tooth sensitivity (pain when teeth touch cold, heat, or air) in people wearing braces. If your teeth hurt during orthodontic treatment, you may help researchers find the best relief option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old
- You are currently undergoing orthodontic treatment (wearing braces)
- You have mild to moderate tooth sensitivity that causes pain (rated 4 or higher on a pain scale)
- Your gums are healthy with no active gum disease or untreated cavities
- You can commit to follow-up visits for 12 weeks
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or allergic to desensitizing toothpaste or gels

This study compares two special varnish coatings applied to teeth to see which works better at reducing tooth sensitivity and pain. If you have teeth that hurt when exposed to cold or touch, this trial might help you find relief.
This study tests whether a special toothpaste, desensitizing agents, and a laser can help reduce tooth sensitivity. If you have sensitive teeth, this trial may find a treatment that works for you.
This study tests whether a special toothpaste made with bioactive silica (a natural mineral) can reduce tooth sensitivity better than a standard toothpaste. It is for people who have sensitive teeth due to receding gums or worn enamel, and lasts for 6 months.
This study tests whether a special paste containing tiny particles of calcium and fluoride can help reduce tooth sensitivity. The particles are applied to the sensitive areas of the teeth to see if they can block the pain.
This trial compares laser treatment with a desensitizing paste to find which works better for reducing tooth sensitivity (pain from hot, cold, or touch). It may be a good option if you have sensitive teeth from receding gums or worn enamel.
This trial tests whether a new toothpaste technology can block the tiny tubules in dentin that cause tooth sensitivity. It lasts 2 weeks and will help find better ways to treat sensitive teeth.
