New treatment for crowding of upper front teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment called DPA for mild to moderate crowding of the upper front teeth in young adults. It aims to straighten teeth without traditional braces, possibly offering a more comfortable and convenient option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 25 years old.
- You must have mild to moderate crowding of your upper front teeth (about 1 to 6 mm).
- You must have all your natural teeth except possibly your wisdom teeth.
- You must not have had braces or other orthodontic treatment before.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and must be generally healthy.
- You must not have deep gum pockets (more than 5 mm).

This trial tests how well direct printed aligners can move the crowns of teeth in adults with mild spacing issues. If you have gaps between your front teeth and do not need extractions or braces for crowding, this study might be for you.
This study compares 3D-printed clear aligners with traditional thermoformed aligners for patients with mild to moderate crowding. If you qualify, you may receive one of these aligner types to straighten your teeth.
This study compares clear aligners (removable trays) to traditional braces for treating crowded lower front teeth. It aims to see which method works better and is more comfortable for patients.
This study tests whether a clear aligner treatment can straighten teeth in people with mild to moderate crowding. It may help you achieve a better smile without traditional braces.
This study tests two different ways of making clear aligners (custom plastic trays that move your teeth). Researchers want to see if 3D-printed aligners work as well as traditional heat-formed ones for mild crowding or spacing.
This trial tests whether a technique called tiny “micro-punctures” in the jaw bone can speed up orthodontic tooth movement in people with moderate front-lower tooth crowding. It uses clear aligners and may help teeth move faster, but only if you meet the dental and medical safety requirements.
