Early treatment for misplaced upper canine teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether early treatment can help guide a misplaced upper permanent canine tooth into its correct position. It may be a good option if your canine tooth is not coming in normally and is not pushed toward the cheek.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- One or both of your upper permanent canine teeth are not felt in the gum, or one side is coming in much later than the other.
- A dental X-ray shows the tooth is out of its normal position.
- The tooth is not pushed toward the cheek (buccal side).
- You are not missing the small permanent teeth next to the canines (lateral incisors).
- You do not have severe crowding in the upper teeth (more than 2mm shortage in each side).

This trial tests a new method to expose an upper canine tooth that is stuck behind the other teeth (palatally impacted). If you have one impacted canine on one side and it's not too high or angled, this study may compare a newer, less invasive exposure technique to the standard approach.
This trial compares two methods for moving your upper canine teeth back after having upper premolars removed, as part of braces treatment. It aims to find which method works better for people with crowded teeth.
This study compares two ways of retracting the canine teeth after premolar removal to see which works faster or better. It may help us improve orthodontic treatment for people who need their upper canines pulled back.
This trial uses 3D imaging to measure bone and root changes when pulling an upper canine that sticks out toward the cheek into its proper position. It may help doctors understand how to treat this condition better.
This trial tests if expanding the upper jaw can make room for crowded front teeth in children who still have some baby teeth. It aims to help the side front teeth come in properly without needing braces later.
This study compares two methods used in braces to pull your upper canine teeth (the pointy teeth next to your front teeth) back after premolars are removed. It uses special 3D X-rays to see how these methods affect the roots and the bone around your teeth.
