Bite force and bone changes after braces in different face types
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares how bite force and bone turnover markers change during the retention phase (after braces) in people with high-angle and low-angle face types. It may help understand why some people have more relapse after braces.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 25 years old and have just finished your braces (ready for retainers).
- Your facial growth pattern is either high-angle (hyperdivergent) or low-angle (hypodivergent).
- You have a healthy mouth with no gum disease, and you can keep good oral hygiene.
- You do not have any jaw joint (TMJ) problems.
- You have not taken antibiotics in the last 3 months or anti-inflammatory drugs in the last month.
- You are willing to wear your retainers as instructed.

This study compares how different face types maintain their bite after orthodontic braces are removed. Researchers will use 3D imaging to track whether teeth stay in their corrected positions during the retention phase (when you wear retainers).
This study looks at how bite-related stress (trauma from occlusion) affects gum health in healthy adults aged 26-45. It compares people who have signs of bite stress with those who don't, to see if there are differences in gum condition.
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 is for people who have just finished braces. It tests a new custom-made wire (retainer) that is glued to the inside of your lower front teeth to keep them straight. The wire is made with advanced technology for a better fit and comfort.
This study looks at whether orthodontic treatment for anterior open bite (a gap between upper and lower front teeth when biting down) stays stable over time. The researchers want to understand what helps the correction last.
This study compares two types of braces (functional appliances) used to fix an overbite caused by a lower jaw that is too far back. It looks at which brace works better for growing teenagers. If your child needs jaw alignment, this trial could help them get treatment.
