Comparing jaw braces for overbite in growing patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must still be growing (teens or pre-teens usually).
- Your lower jaw is smaller than normal.
- Your upper teeth stick out at least 8 mm past your lower teeth.
- You have never had braces or other orthodontic treatment.
- You should not have any jaw pain, clicking, or TMJ problems.

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 trial compares two dental appliances—Twin Block and Myobrace—to see which one better improves your airway and facial shape during the teenage growth spurt. If you have a set-back lower jaw and moderate overbite, participating could help guide your jaw growth and breathing.
This study tests a removable orthodontic device (twin-block with clear plates) to improve how the upper and lower jaws fit together in children. It may help if you have a specific “Class II” jaw pattern caused mainly by a lower jaw that sits back.
This study tests two different braces that help guide the jaw into a better position as a child grows. The goal is to see which one improves the airway and jaw joint while correcting the bite.
This trial tests a modified version of a Twin Block appliance (a type of brace) to see how it changes the position of the jaw and teeth in growing boys with a small lower jaw. It aims to help correct the bite and improve the smile.
This trial compares a facemask device with upper braces to correct underbite in children ages 7–10. It aims to find which treatment works better to align the jaw and teeth.
