Description
Mohammed Hussain Alzainal, Stephen Warunek, David Covell, and a wider team wrote this pilot trial report, published in 2024. It compares a behind-the-teeth brace system that does not slide wires, against classic front braces, for straightening mildly crowded teeth.
Thirteen patients at the University at Buffalo were randomly split between the lingual BRIUS system and labial fixed appliances. Scans before treatment and at eighteen weeks were superimposed in 3D to measure every tooth's movement. Both systems moved teeth much the same, except one lower premolar that traveled farther with the lingual device. Crowding scores improved alike. Daily comfort diaries told the real difference: tongue soreness for the hidden braces, lip and cheek soreness for the visible ones. The authors call the newcomer equally effective in this small pilot.
