Summary
This study investigates whether applying a chlorohexidine varnish (a dental coating) reduces gum overgrowth, plaque buildup, and early tooth decay (white spots) in patients with braces. Each participant's mouth is divided into two sides: one receives the active varnish, and the other receives a placebo. Changes in gum health, plaque, and white spots are tracked over 3 months.
