Comparing custom vs. standard facemasks for underbite in children
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of facemasks (customized vs. standard) for treating an underbite (Class III malocclusion) in children. The goal is to see which mask works better early in life to guide jaw growth and improve the bite.

This trial tests two different face mask devices to see which works better for correcting an underbite in growing children and teens. It may help improve the alignment of the upper and lower jaw.
This study tests two different braces that help guide the jaw into a better position as a child grows. The goal is to see which one improves the airway and jaw joint while correcting the bite.
This trial compares two treatments for children whose upper jaw is smaller than their lower jaw. One is a plastic expander, the other is an expander with a facemask. Both aim to fix the bite and help the upper jaw grow properly.
This trial tests a special 3D-printed brace to fix underbite in children aged 8-13 who still have growing upper jaws. The brace encourages the upper jaw to grow forward and corrects the bite.
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.
