Comparing two ways to move upper back teeth with anchors
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a dental Class II bite (upper teeth stick out too far)
- Your upper teeth are not severely crowded, or only a little crowded
- Your upper second molars (very back teeth) are already through the gums or partially through
- You have never had braces or other orthodontic treatment
- Your lower teeth have little or no crowding
- You can keep your teeth and gums very clean

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 study tests a new 3D-printed dental device to move the upper back teeth backward in teenagers with an overjet (bucked teeth) and a class II bite. It may help correct the bite without removing teeth or using headgear.
This trial compares two orthodontic appliances (KILBON and CAT) to see which works better for pulling the upper front teeth backward. It is for adults whose upper teeth stick out and have only mild crowding.
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 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.
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.
