Recruiting studies
- NCT07552441Recruiting
Mouth Muscle Pressure and Upper Jaw Width Study
This study examines how the muscles around your mouth affect the width of your upper jaw. Researchers will measure the pressure your mouth muscles create to better understand jaw development and may help improve orthodontic treatment in the future.
Van, VanAges 12–25 - NCT07411092Recruiting
3D-printed expander vs. traditional expander for widening the upper jaw in teens
This trial compares a new 3D-printed expander with a standard one to widen the upper jaw in teenagers. It aims to see if the newer device works better or is easier to tolerate.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 12–17 - NCT07088055Recruiting
Chewing device vs. oral motor therapy for jaw alignment in kids
This study tests whether a special chewing device (Myo Munchee) can help improve jaw alignment and muscle function in children ages 3–5 who have both jaw alignment problems and orofacial myofunctional disorders. It compares the device to standard oral motor therapy.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 3–5 - NCT07095374Enrolling by invitation
How jaw widening affects premolar tilt
This study looks at how widening the upper jaw with a special device (rapid palatal expander) affects the tilt of certain teeth (premolars). It may help doctors understand how to plan better orthodontic treatments.
Pavia, LombardyAges 6–14 - NCT07326345Recruiting
Study comparing ways to widen the upper jaw
This trial tests different methods to widen a narrow upper jaw and see how they affect the nose and face bones. It is for people 15 and older who have a crossbite (when upper teeth sit inside lower teeth).
Istanbul, FatihAges 15 years+ - NCT07262892Recruiting
3D study of jaw widening methods in children
This trial uses 3D imaging to compare two ways of widening the upper jaw in children. It may help your child if they need jaw expansion and haven't had it before.
Istanbul, FatihAges 6–12 - NCT07086612Recruiting
Sleep apnea and dental crossbite in children
This study looks at the link between sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) and a narrow upper jaw (crossbite) in children ages 6 to 16. It may help understand if treating the jaw can improve sleep breathing.
RouenAges 6–16 - NCT06864949Enrolling by invitation
Expanding the upper jaw with a preformed brace
This study tests a preformed appliance designed to widen a narrow upper jaw. It may help people whose upper jaw is too narrow, causing their back teeth to cross or tilt inward.
Pavia, LombardyAges 7–13 - NCT06943443Enrolling by invitation
Vitamin D and expander treatment for teens
This trial looks at whether vitamin D levels affect how well a special expander (MARPE) works to fix a narrow upper jaw in teens. If you are 15–18 and have a narrow upper jaw, you may be able to join.
Konya, MeramAges 16–18 - NCT06994754Recruiting
Expanding the upper jaw with clear aligners in cleft lip and palate patients
This trial tests whether clear aligners can safely widen the upper jaw in children with cleft lip and palate who still have some baby teeth. It may be an option for those needing jaw expansion without braces.
Cairo, SelectAges 6–12 - NCT06900933Recruiting
Bone graft for upper jaw using jawbone blocks
This trial tests using a small piece of bone from your lower jaw to rebuild a narrow upper jaw so it can hold a dental implant. It compares using the bone alone versus covering it with a collagen membrane to see which works better.
CairoAges 20–40 - NCT06315348Recruiting
Gum shaping during braces with a vibration tool
This trial tests a new, less invasive surgical technique (using a special tool that vibrates, not a scalpel) to help reshape the gums while straightening teeth with braces. It is for people who need braces for mild to moderate crowding and have healthy gums.
MadridAges 16–70 - NCT07739498Recruiting
Bite turbos with palate expander for teenagers
This trial tests whether adding small plastic bumps, called bite turbos, to a palate expander helps widen the upper jaw better than the expander alone in early teens. This may correct a crossbite, where upper teeth sit inside lower teeth when biting down.
Al MansurahAges 10–14 - NCT07679451Recruiting
Comparing two membranes for jawbone grafting before dental implants
This trial compares two types of membranes (PEEK vs PTFE) used in a bone-grafting procedure to rebuild the upper jawbone where teeth are missing. It may be an option for you if you need extra bone before getting dental implants.
Al Mansurah, DakhaliyaAges 20–45

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for maxillary deficiency?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 14 recruiting maxillary deficiency studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a maxillary deficiency trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a maxillary deficiency trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
