Clear aligner comfort study for mild to moderate crowding
This study tests two types of clear aligners to see which one feels more comfortable and works better for patients with mild to moderate crowding. It may help decide which aligner material is better for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 15 and 30 years old
- Have all permanent teeth from first molar to first molar (no missing permanent teeth)
- Have mild to moderate crowding (less than 8 mm)
- Be a candidate for non-extraction orthodontic treatment (no teeth need to be pulled)
- Be willing to wear aligners as instructed and attend regular dental visits

This study compares two different methods of straightening teeth: traditional metal braces and clear aligners. It will measure how well each system works for people with moderate crowding and which one gives better results.
This study compares clear aligners (removable trays) to traditional braces for treating crowded lower front teeth. It aims to see which method works better and is more comfortable for patients.
This trial tests two different clear aligner designs to see which works better for straightening teeth. It is for people who need braces and have not had orthodontic treatment before.
This trial looks at clear braces (aligner) treatment for straightening teeth, using remote monitoring and computer-guided (AI) check-ins. It may help by making treatment progress easier to track and adjust.
This trial tests SureSmile clear aligners to see how accurately they fix common bite problems like crowding, spacing, and overbite. You may be able to join if you need mild to moderate orthodontic treatment.
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.
