Gum shaping during braces with a vibration tool
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, less invasive surgical technique (using a special tool that vibrates, not a scalpel) to help reshape the gums while straightening teeth with braces. It is for people who need braces for mild to moderate crowding and have healthy gums.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to be planning to get braces or aligners (orthodontic treatment) for your upper or lower jaw.
- Your teeth should have some crowding (space shortage of about 3 to 8 mm in the front).
- Your gums and mouth must be generally healthy - no advanced gum disease, no untreated cavities, and no serious infections.
- You should not be taking medications that affect bone healing, like steroids or drugs for osteoporosis.
- You must not have a serious untreated medical condition like uncontrolled diabetes, and you cannot be pregnant.
- You need to be willing to come to all the study visits.

This trial tests a new digital planning method for crown lengthening (a procedure to reshape gum tissue around a tooth to improve smile appearance). It might help you if you have a front tooth needing cosmetic gum work and have healthy gums and good oral hygiene.
This trial tests if a special collagen scaffold placed during gum surgery can improve orthodontic treatment for people with thin gums. It may help protect the gums and bone during teeth straightening.
This study tests whether a special 3D imaging tool helps protect your gums from pulling back (receding) while straightening your teeth with clear aligners. Gum recession can expose tooth roots and cause sensitivity, so the trial is exploring whether better visualization during treatment planning prevents this problem.
This study tests if a small gum surgery (alveolar decortication) plus a natural growth factor injection (CGF) can speed up tooth movement in people who need braces and have two teeth removed. It may help you have a shorter treatment time.
This study tests a procedure to improve the shape of the gum and bone around a dental implant in people with thin gums. It uses a special graft material to make the area thicker and more stable for a better-looking result.
This trial tests a device called the Neo Pill to see if it helps keep teeth clean for people with braces. It compares the device to regular brushing and may help reduce plaque and gum problems during orthodontic treatment.
