Clear aligners vs braces for mild overbite in adults
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares clear plastic aligners with fixed braces to improve mild overbite (Class II) in adults who have not had orthodontics before. It may help you understand which option works better for your bite and alignment while also checking fit and dental health needs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to be between 15 and 20 years old
- You have a mild Class II overbite (about 2–4 mm overjet) and not a severe one
- Your jaw growth pattern should be normal or mostly horizontal (not vertical)
- You should have mild crowding (less than 2 mm) in both upper and lower teeth
- You must have healthy gums/periodontium and good oral hygiene, with no gum disease
- You must not have had braces or other orthodontic treatment before

This study compares two types of braces to fix an overbite in teens who have finished most of their facial growth. It also looks at how having a misaligned bite affects daily life and how treatment may improve it.
This study compares two types of early braces (one traditional and one new design) to treat an overbite in children. It aims to see which approach works better before they get full braces later.
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 compares two different schedules for clear aligner treatment (invisible braces) to see which one feels better for patients. If you have a mild misalignment (Class I) and all your permanent teeth, you may be able to join.
This trial tests SureSmile clear aligners to see how accurately they fix common bite problems like crowding, spacing, and overbite. You may be able to join if you need mild to moderate orthodontic treatment.
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.
