New treatment option for Orthodontic
Official title The Impact of a 3D Imaging Tool on Reducing Gum Recession During Orthodontic Treatment With Aligners
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07513792
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This study investigates whether using 3D imaging technology (Cone Beam Computed Tomography or CBCT) for orthodontic treatment planning with aligners can reduce the risk of gingival recession in adult patients seeking dental arch expansion. Many aligner treatments involve expanding the dental arches to address issues like crowding and "black corridors," but this can sometimes lead to gum recession.
