Preventing white spot lesions while wearing braces
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a special coating that releases fluoride to help prevent white spots from forming on your teeth while you wear braces. The coating is applied to the teeth before the brackets are attached.

This study tests a special liquid (silver diamine fluoride) painted on teeth to prevent early cavities (white spots) that often appear after braces. If you are getting braces, this treatment might help keep your teeth healthier during treatment.
This study tests a new protective coating (PRG barrier coat) compared to a standard fluoride varnish to help reverse early white spot lesions on children's front teeth. It may help restore tooth enamel and prevent cavities.
This trial tests two dental treatments—a special varnish and a cleaning paste—to see how well they keep white spots on teeth from getting worse. They may help improve the look of early tooth decay without needing fillings.
This study compares two resin infiltration systems to treat white spot lesions—the chalky white marks that can appear on teeth after braces. The goal is to see which treatment works better, costs less, and makes patients happier.
This trial tests a new primer used when bonding braces to teeth. The primer may help remineralize (strengthen) the enamel around the brackets, potentially protecting your teeth during treatment.
This study tests whether applying a protective fluoride coating (a sealant) to your teeth can prevent white spots from forming while you wear braces. If it works, it could help keep your teeth healthy and spot-free after your braces come off.
