-
Gum recession in adults with and without prior orthodontic treatment
We will test which patient and tooth factors increase the chance of gum recession in adults who have or have not had orthodontic treatment.
-
How higher body mass index affects teens' braces, gums, and tooth health.
This project will test whether adolescents with higher BMI have more gum inflammation, tooth discoloration, and oral bacteria while wearing fixed braces.
-
Direct versus indirect fixed retainer placement: bonding time, gum health, and retainer stability
This trial will test whether direct or indirect fixed retainer placement is quicker and leads to better gum health and fewer retainer failures for adults (18–40) finishing orthodontic treatment.
-
Using specialized MRI for dental imaging
This study is testing a new type of MRI specifically for dental imaging to see if it can better diagnose dental problems compared to regular imaging methods.
