Micro-holes in bone to speed molar movement
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether tiny holes made in the bone (micro-osteoperforation) can speed up moving your upper back molars backward using a device anchored to bone. It is for adults with a specific bite problem (Class II on both sides) who are healthy and have all their teeth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 or older).
- Your jaw relationship is Class I or mild Class II (your orthodontist can check this).
- You have a Class II bite on both sides of your mouth (no extractions needed).
- You have all your permanent teeth, including your upper second molars.
- You have good oral hygiene and are generally healthy.

This study tests a new way to move upper front teeth into better position using braces combined with tiny holes made in the bone. The goal is to correct an overbite (when upper front teeth stick out too far) more quickly and effectively.
This study tests a new way to fix a front open bite in adults. It uses a special appliance anchored to bone or screws in the upper jaw to gently push the back teeth upward, which helps close the open bite. If you have an open bite of 3 to 8 mm and need this type of orthodontic treatment, this could be an option.
This trial tests two different methods of using small bone anchors to move your upper back teeth further back to fix an overbite or overjet (Class II bite). It may be helpful if you've never had braces before and have good oral hygiene.
This trial tests how well different materials help heal a small hole (perforation) in the root of a lower molar tooth. It may help if you have this type of tooth injury and are generally healthy.
This trial compares two treatments to see if they can safely speed up a specific tooth movement during braces. It tests a low-level laser or a minor surgical procedure called Piezocision against standard care.
This trial tests special small screws coated with nano-material to help move upper front teeth back into place during braces treatment. The screws act as anchors to make tooth movement more effective for patients with protruding upper front teeth.
