Fluoride Varnishes for Dental White Spots

Los Angeles, California
Orthodontic treatment is common in teenagers, which typically involve the attachment of metal brackets to the teeth. These brackets often impede proper oral hygiene, leading to plaque accumulation and the development of white spots lesions (the early stage of cavity development). Our study aims to investigate the efficacy of different commercially available fluoride varnishes to treat these white spot lesions after the completion of orthodontic treatment and evaluate their effect on the oral microbiome. Target enrollment is 120 subjects. The study will follow a split-mouth design, with each subject receiving different treatment on the left and right sides of their mouth. The subjects will be randomized into 3 groups, with each group receiving two of the following three options: placebo varnish, traditional sodium fluoride varnish, and a resin-modified glass ionomer light-cured fluoride varnish. There will be 4 total visits for this study: Baseline (day 0): Oral health assessed, plaque collected, intraoral photos taken, dental cleaning performed, DiagnoDent measurements taken, varnishes applied T1 (day 30): Oral health assessed, plaque collected, intraoral photos taken, DiagnoDent measurements taken, varnishes reapplied T2 (day 90): Oral health assessed, plaque collected, intraoral photos taken, DiagnoDent measurements taken, varnishes reapplied T3 (day 180): Oral health assessed, plaque collected, intraoral photos taken, DiagnoDent measurements taken, dental cleaning performed Participants will be instructed to use regular fluoridated toothpaste and floss twice per day for the duration of the study.

Nighttime vs Daytime Clear Aligners

Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The purpose of this research study is to see if Nighttime Aligners (worn 10-12 hours per day or night) are effective and safe for tooth movement and if so, how they compare with the standard Daytime aligners (worn 20-22 hours per day), in adults and children from 12 years of age and older. It will investigate the efficacy and performance of the treatments, as well as the safety of the investigational device and comparator. The main objectives are: * Comparison between the two groups concerning actual vs planned tooth movements (measured by changes in tooth position) * Comparison between the two groups concerning the incidence of device or dental related AEs. * Overall dentist and participant satisfaction with the treatment. Participants will: * Be given orthodontic aligner therapy with the Daytime (20-22h/day) or Nighttime (10-12h/day) Aligners (randomly assigned) * Attend approximately 5 study during approximately 8-10 months

Clear Aligners for Orthodontic Appliance Complications

Richmond, Virginia
Orthodontic treatment has been revolutionized by clear aligner therapy, offering patients a more esthetic and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. In 1999, Align Technology introduced Invisalign. As Invisalign has increased in popularity and demand over the past two decades, clinical trials have shed light on the efficacy of Invisalign treatment. there have been changes in the Invisalign protocol such as introduction of SmartForce features in 2008, such as optimized attachments as well as the implementation of SmartTrack aligner material in 2011. Compared to conventional fixed orthodontic appliances, Invisalign cannot be adjusted on a visit-to visit basis. If ideal tooth movement has not been achieved after completion of the first sequence of aligners, additional trays, known as refinement trays, are required.

Orthodontic Force Magnitude for Dental Alignment

Farmington, Connecticut
This study aims to examine the effect of force levels in orthodontic treatment during canine retraction. Force levels refer to the pressure applied by the orthodontic devices to move teeth. Data collection will include gingival fluid, dental molds from a digital scanner, and x-rays of the upper canine region on both sides of the mouth during treatment. The null hypothesis to be tested is that there is no significant difference in the rate of canine movement between the light force and the heavy force levels.

Archwire Types for Orthodontic Discomfort

Aurora, Colorado
Three different types of 'archwires' can be used in Orthodontic treatment, wire choice is decided by treating Orthodontist based on professional preference since research shows that all types are equally effective. It is possible that one type of wire engenders more patient discomfort. This study will compare the discomfort levels engendered by the three wire types to determine if there is one that induces the least amount.

Resin Infiltration vs. CPP-ACP-Fluoride for White Spot Lesions

Edmonton, Alberta
Dental cavities are among the most frequent diseases that affect teeth, particularly in patients who are treated with braces due to the difficulty in maintaining good oral hygiene in the presence of the mouth appliances. The white spot lesion (WSL) is the first clinical sign of cavities that presents itself as a milky-white opacity when located on the front face of the tooth. The aim to manage these early lesions focuses on promoting natural remineralization and preventing further demineralization. Various materials have been introduced for management of WSLs including MI paste and MI paste combined with fluoride (MI paste plus). Recently, a new material called resin infiltration has been found to treat these lesions with high esthetic results and great performance. According to the few numbers of in-vivo studies investigating the effectiveness of remineralization products, the aim of the current study is to clinically compare the outcome of the resin-infiltration and etching + MI paste plus to stop and improve the appearance of the WSL on front teeth in patients after treatment with braces.

Povidone-Iodine for Preventing White Spots

Seattle, Washington
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if topical application on the all surface of 10% Povidone Iodine (Povi-One) in healthy participants in transitional or permanent dentition (10-17 y) prevents new white spot lesions in the maxillary anterior teeth at 1 year of follow-up. Researchers will compare Povi-One to a placebo to see if Povi-One works to prevent new white spot lesions. It will also learn about the safety of topical 10% Povidone Iodine. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does Povi-One prevent the development of any white spot lesion on the surface of maxillary anterior teeth? 2. Does Povi-One lower the probability of any International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) score greater than 0 and mean modified Löe-Silness Gingival Index (GI) in the intervention group? Researchers will 1. Score GI without cleaning participants teeth, then score ICDAS of maxillary and mandibular incisors after participants brush and floss their teeth and take a photograph of maxillary 6 anterior teeth 2. Apply Povi-one (or control) at the consultation appointment before placing fixed orthodontic appliances and 3, 6, and 9 months after appliance placement Researchers will 1. Recall using Zoom 24-48 hours after the first application of Povi-One and examine the participant's mouth for oral lesions using a structured paper checklist 2. Interview the caregiver to complete a paper questionnaire on adverse effects Researchers will 1. Score GI, and then score ICDAS of maxillary and mandibular incisors in 6, 12 months after appliance placement 2. Evaluate the development of white spot lesions on maxillary central and lateral incisors in 6, and 12 months after appliance placement

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation for Orthodontic Pain

San Francisco, California
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether an intraoral Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) device can reduce pain during orthodontic alignment and leveling in adolescents and adults. The study aims to compare the effectiveness of the TENS device in reducing pain on one side of the mouth, where the device is used, to the other side, where a non-functioning (placebo) device is applied. The primary questions this study aims to answer are: Does the TENS device effectively reduce pain during orthodontic treatment compared to the placebo? How do patients pain levels differ between the treated and untreated sides of the mouth? Participants will: Have an orthodontic appliance placed on their teeth. Experience the TENS device being applied to one side of their mouth for 2.5 minutes immediately after the appliance placement (brackets and wires). Report their pain levels at various intervals after the procedure (immediately, 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours). This study includes up to 150 participants who are undergoing routine orthodontic treatment. The findings will help researchers understand whether the TENS device can effectively reduce discomfort during orthodontic procedures, potentially leading to better patient care and comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Orthodontics clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Orthodontics clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Orthodontics trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Orthodontics is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Orthodontics medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Orthodontics clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Clear Aligners for Orthodontic Appliance Complications, Virtual Reality Relaxation for Anxiety and Grafting Materials for Misaligned Teeth to the Power online platform.
