Clear aligners for babies with cleft lip and palate
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of clear aligner (called AlignBabyCleft) for babies with cleft lip and/or palate. The goal is to see if early treatment with these aligners can help with the cleft before surgery or other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is part of a quality-improvement and research program for people with typical facial clefts. It aims to help improve how care is organized and measured across treatment centers, which may benefit future patients and help your team deliver coordinated care.
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.
This trial looks at clear braces (aligner) treatment for straightening teeth, using remote monitoring and computer-guided (AI) check-ins. It may help by making treatment progress easier to track and adjust.
This study looks at how well early treatment works for babies born with a cleft lip or palate. It aims to improve care and results for infants before they have surgery.
This study tests whether clear aligners can fix a mild underbite in growing children aged 8 to 11. It compares how well the aligners move teeth and jaws compared to other treatments.
This study tests using a smart camera (artificial intelligence) to help plan surgery for newborns with a single-sided cleft lip and palate. Your baby will have a quick and painless 3D scan of their mouth to guide their doctors, and you'll be closely supported throughout.
