Treating mild upper front teeth crowding with DPA
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment called DPA for mildly crowded upper front teeth in young adults. It aims to see if this approach can straighten your teeth without braces.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 the accuracy of 3D printed aligners to traditional thermoformed aligners for treating mild to moderate lower front crowding. It may help you if you're a teenager or young adult needing simple straightening without extractions.
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 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.
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 if expanding the upper jaw can make room for crowded front teeth in children who still have some baby teeth. It aims to help the side front teeth come in properly without needing braces later.
