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 compares gum health and bite-related issues in healthy adults aged 26 to 45. It looks at how problems like teeth grinding, clenching, or an uneven bite might affect your gums.
This trial compares different types of braces and clear aligners to fix a deep overbite (where top teeth cover the bottom teeth too much). It will use special 3D x-rays to see which treatment works best.
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 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 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.
