Moving upper back teeth with a 3D-printed brace
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 13 and 18 years old.
- You have all your permanent teeth (except wisdom teeth).
- You have an overbite where the upper teeth stick out, and both sides of the back teeth are in a class II bite.
- The lower part of your face is not unusually long.

This trial compares two types of braces (a 3D-printed removable brace and a fixed brace called MARA) to see which works better for correcting a bite problem where the lower jaw is too far back. It is designed for teenagers who are still growing and have a large overbite.
This study compares two ways to move the upper back molars backward to fix an overbite where the upper teeth stick out too far. One method uses clear aligners, the other uses tiny temporary screws in the jawbone.
This study compares two types of braces (Twin Block and Carriere Motion) for teens aged 14½–16 who have a Class II overbite. It also looks at how the overbite affects your quality of life and how fixing it might help you feel better.
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 study tests a new 3D-printed expander that attaches to bone to widen a narrow upper jaw in young adults. It may help if you have a crossbite or need more room in your upper jaw.
This trial tests a special dental device that is glued to the teeth to correct an underbite in children aged 8-11. It aims to improve the way the upper and lower jaws fit together.
