ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different methods for making clear orthodontic aligners, which are used to straighten teeth, especially in cases where teeth are crowded. The researchers want to find out if one method is better than the other for creating these aligners. This study is open to participants of all ages and genders, as long as they have a full set of permanent teeth and their upper jaw (maxillary arch) has crowded teeth.

If you or someone you know has crowded teeth and meets these criteria, you may be eligible to take part in this study, which is currently recruiting participants. Those who join can expect to help researchers understand which method works best for making aligners, potentially leading to improved treatments for future patients. It’s important to note that participants cannot have missing teeth or any dental restorations, like crowns or fillings, to take part in this trial.
