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).

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 types of braces (aesthetic functional appliances and twin blocks) to fix ‘overbite’ where the lower jaw is too small and the upper teeth stick way out. It’s for kids/teens who are still growing and haven’t had braces before.
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.
This trial compares two dental appliances—Twin Block and Myobrace—to see which one better improves your airway and facial shape during the teenage growth spurt. If you have a set-back lower jaw and moderate overbite, participating could help guide your jaw growth and breathing.
This trial compares a facemask device with upper braces to correct underbite in children ages 7–10. It aims to find which treatment works better to align the jaw and teeth.
This trial tests Invisalign clear aligners that also help move the lower jaw forward. It may be a good fit if you need both teeth straightening and jaw positioning help.
