Twin-block braces with clear plates for jaw misalignment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 10.5 and 13 years old and still in mixed dentition (some baby teeth and some permanent teeth).
- Have a Class II jaw relationship with measurements showing the lower jaw is set back (for example, ANB is high, SNB is low).
- Have normal upper jaw position (not a situation where the upper jaw is too far forward).
- Have no previous orthodontic treatment.
- Be willing to wear a removable orthodontic device as part of the study.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study checks whether the results from an earlier treatment with the Twin Block appliance, which corrects bite problems, hold up over time. It looks at how stable the teeth and jaw remain years after treatment.
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 compares two dental appliances—Twin Block and Myobrace—to see which one better improves your airway and facial shape during the teenage growth spurt. If you have a set-back lower jaw and moderate overbite, participating could help guide your jaw growth and breathing.
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 trial compares a new 3D-printed twin block brace to a traditional one for children with a large overbite (overjet ≥7 mm). It checks how well germs stick, how smooth the brace is, and how well it works—plus how children feel about it.
This trial tests a special jaw repositioning device (Twin-Block) combined with low-intensity sound waves (LIPUS) to help treat a class II malocclusion (when the lower jaw is set back) in children and teens. It aims to improve jaw alignment and joint outcomes.
