Comparing Herbst vs Invisalign for jaw alignment in teens
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two different braces (a Herbst appliance and Invisalign MA) to see which works better for teenagers whose upper jaw is too far forward. It's for kids who are still growing and have a specific type of overbite.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your upper and lower jaw must be misaligned by at least 4 degrees (a specific measurement your dentist can check).
- You must have a Class II bite (where your upper teeth are farther forward than your lower teeth).
- You must be in a specific growth stage (CVM 2 or 3, which your dentist can check with an X-ray).
- You cannot have advanced gum disease (periodontal disease).
