Comparing two ways to close tooth gaps after tooth removal
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two methods used in braces to close the gaps left after removing certain teeth. It aims to see which method is more effective for moving teeth into the right position.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 13 and 40 years old.
- You are currently getting braces (fixed orthodontic treatment).
- You need to have your first premolars (the teeth next to your eye teeth) removed as part of your treatment.
- All your permanent teeth are present and have come in, except for your second and third molars.

This study compares two methods used in braces to pull your upper canine teeth (the pointy teeth next to your front teeth) back after premolars are removed. It uses special 3D X-rays to see how these methods affect the roots and the bone around your teeth.

This study compares different orthodontic force plans to see how they affect “root resorption,” when the tooth root shortens over time. It’s meant to find safer ways to move front lower teeth in teens who have a deep bite.
This study compares two ways of retracting the canine teeth after premolar removal to see which works faster or better. It may help us improve orthodontic treatment for people who need their upper canines pulled back.
This trial tests different force levels to move canine teeth after premolar extraction in teens. Results may help orthodontists choose the best force for faster, safer tooth movement.
