Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are children under 18 years old requiring multi-brackets orthodontic treatment at the Reims University Hospital.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who may not benefit include those under 8 years old, those requiring different orthodontic treatments, or those with specific dental pathologies.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a digital communication tool designed to enhance collaboration between dentists and orthodontists in preventing dental issues in children undergoing multi-brackets orthodontic treatment. It involves two groups: a control group of children who completed treatment by December 2024 and a study group starting treatment in 2024, who will receive semi-annual oral prevention consultations. The goal is to reduce caries risk by improving communication and preventive care over an average treatment period of four years. Data will be collected and securely stored to assess outcomes related to dental health.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce the incidence of dental caries and improve oral health outcomes for children undergoing orthodontic treatment.
How similar studies have gone: While the approach of using digital communication tools in dental care is gaining traction, this specific methodology is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in similar contexts.
