This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a BristlTM Toothbrush — a special electric toothbrush that uses dual light therapy — can help prevent gum disease better than a regular manual toothbrush or a standard electric toothbrush. The study focuses on young patients (ages 6–20) who have cleft lip or palate and are undergoing orthodontic treatment or jaw surgery. Researchers want to see if this treatment reduces gum inflammation and improves overall mouth health in this group.
Young patients with cleft lip or palate often struggle with gum health, especially during orthodontic treatment and surgery recovery. This trial exists to find out whether the new electric toothbrush with light technology can better prevent gum disease in these patients than the toothbrushes they normally use.

If you join, you will be randomly assigned to use one of three toothbrushes: a manual toothbrush, an electric toothbrush, or an electric toothbrush with dual light therapy. You will use your assigned toothbrush at home as part of your regular care while undergoing orthodontic treatment or jaw surgery. The study team will check your gum health at clinic visits by measuring plaque buildup, gum inflammation, and bleeding.
