Braces study for children to move the lower jaw forward
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a removable mouth “expansion appliance” can help the lower jaw grow forward in children whose bite is too far back. It may help improve the way the upper and lower teeth and jaws fit together.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a Class II bite, where your lower jaw sits back compared with the upper jaw
- You have a Class II misaligned bite (upper teeth do not line up well with lower teeth)
- Your teeth are in early mixed dentition: first permanent molars have come in, and permanent front teeth are coming in or have come in
- You are not currently getting other orthodontic braces or orthodontic treatment
- You do not have a jaw/face growth problem caused by a syndrome or other medical condition

This study looks at how jaw and palate treatments affect airflow through the upper airway in children with a specific bite and jaw shape. It may help researchers understand which treatments improve space for breathing and related pressure changes.
This study tests a removable orthodontic device (twin-block with clear plates) to improve how the upper and lower jaws fit together in children. It may help if you have a specific “Class II” jaw pattern caused mainly by a lower jaw that sits back.
This trial compares two types of braces (aesthetic functional appliances and twin blocks) to fix ‘overbite’ where the lower jaw is too small and the upper teeth stick way out. It’s for kids/teens who are still growing and haven’t had braces before.
This trial tests a special 3D-printed brace to fix underbite in children aged 8-13 who still have growing upper jaws. The brace encourages the upper jaw to grow forward and corrects the bite.
This study tests two different braces that help guide the jaw into a better position as a child grows. The goal is to see which one improves the airway and jaw joint while correcting the bite.
This study tests a treatment for children ages 9–12 with a certain kind of 'underbite' (called a reversed bite) caused by a small upper jaw. The goal is to see if treatment can help the jaw grow better and fix the bite.
