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

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 treatment to help children with a small upper jaw (which causes an underbite) by guiding the upper jaw to grow forward. The goal is to improve bite alignment and reduce the need for surgery later in life.
This trial compares two dental appliances to widen the upper jaw in children with a cross-bite, a condition where the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth when biting down. The goal is to see which device works better to correct this bite issue.
This study compares two types of braces (functional appliances) used to fix an overbite caused by a lower jaw that is too far back. It looks at which brace works better for growing teenagers. If your child needs jaw alignment, this trial could help them get treatment.
This study compares two different dental braces to see which one works better for improving jaw position and breathing in children whose lower jaw is set back. It may help your child's jaw grow in a healthier way.
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.
