Speeding up braces with your own blood
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special injection made from your own blood (called injectable platelet-rich fibrin) can help move your teeth faster during braces treatment. It involves removing two upper premolars and then receiving the injection to see if it speeds up straightening.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 26 years old.
- Your upper front teeth are very crooked (crowding more than 7 mm) so it's recommended to remove the upper first premolars (the fourth tooth from the front).
- You have a Class I or Class II bite issue with normal to mild vertical growth.
- All your upper permanent teeth (up to the first molar) are present and can be fitted with braces.
- You have good oral health (no untreated cavities, gum disease, or infection).
- You haven't had braces before and are not taking medications like cortisone or anti-inflammatory drugs.

This study tests a new way to treat a specific type of gum disease that causes bone loss around the roots of back teeth. It uses your body's own healing factors (from a blood sample) to help the bone and gum reattach, without surgery.
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.
This study tests whether a special gel made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) can speed up tooth movement after a premolar extraction. You would be wearing braces, and one side of your mouth gets the gel while the other side is the control, so we can see if it works.
This study tests whether using your own blood concentrate (PRP) and a special red light treatment can speed up tooth movement with clear aligners. If you're a young adult starting clear aligner therapy, this might reduce your treatment time.
This study compares two methods to speed up moving your canine teeth into their correct position after removing the premolars: a small surgical procedure (piezocision) or a natural blood concentrate treatment (injectable platelet-rich fibrin). The goal is to see which method works better for faster, safer tooth movement.
This study tests three different treatments (MOP, prostaglandin E1, and calcitriol) to see if they can make teeth move faster during orthodontic treatment. If you're getting braces for moderate crowding, this could reduce your treatment time.
