Clear aligner treatment with tiny bone punctures to speed tooth movement
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a technique called tiny “micro-punctures” in the jaw bone can speed up orthodontic tooth movement in people with moderate front-lower tooth crowding. It uses clear aligners and may help teeth move faster, but only if you meet the dental and medical safety requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your permanent teeth are fully grown in (except wisdom teeth).
- You have moderate crowding in the lower front teeth, about 4–6 mm.
- You are not taking medicines that change pain sensation for at least 1 week before treatment starts.
- Your clear aligner plan uses at least 8 aligners.
- You have not had braces or other orthodontic treatment before.
- You do not have gum disease or poor oral hygiene that needs treatment first.

This study compares clear aligners (removable trays) to traditional braces for treating crowded lower front teeth. It aims to see which method works better and is more comfortable for patients.
This study tests a new way to move upper front teeth into better position using braces combined with tiny holes made in the bone. The goal is to correct an overbite (when upper front teeth stick out too far) more quickly and effectively.
This study compares two ways to help your upper canine teeth move faster into place after premolar extractions: tiny holes in the bone or special light therapy. It aims to shorten your braces treatment time.
This trial tests whether a new type of attachment (beveled) on clear aligners works better than standard attachments for moving teeth in adults. If you are getting aligner treatment and need certain tooth movements on both sides of your mouth, this study may help improve your results.
This trial compares two treatments to see if they can safely speed up a specific tooth movement during braces. It tests a low-level laser or a minor surgical procedure called Piezocision against standard care.
This study tests a procedure to speed up tooth movement after removing certain back teeth. It may help you get braces treatment done faster.
