Rubber band braces for Class II teeth in different jaw patterns
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial studies whether using a specific type of rubber bands on clear aligners works differently depending on your jaw’s vertical growth pattern. It aims to find the best way to move teeth for people with Class II alignment and finish treatment with teeth in a Class I bite.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your orthodontic doctor says you are “CVM stage 5,” meaning you are at the end of growth
- You have a Class II bite (upper teeth sit ahead of lower teeth)
- Your treatment plan uses rubber bands between the upper and lower arches (to pull them together)
- Your planned treatment ends with a Class I bite (teeth bite into the normal position)
- You do not have missing permanent teeth (except wisdom teeth)
- You have not had orthodontic treatment that involved extractions, mini-screws, mini-plates, or jaw surgery

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 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.
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 study compares two different methods of straightening teeth: traditional metal braces and clear aligners. It will measure how well each system works for people with moderate crowding and which one gives better results.
This trial tests two different clear aligner designs to see which works better for straightening teeth. It is for people who need braces and have not had orthodontic treatment before.
This study compares two early braces treatments for children with a large overjet and a specific bite problem. It looks at which approach works better before moving on to full braces.
