Comparing two ways to place braces for a better smile
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two methods of placing braces to improve smile appearance. It tests if using the natural curve of your smile works better than a standard chart for bracket positioning.

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 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.
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 trial compares two orthodontic appliances (KILBON and CAT) to see which works better for pulling the upper front teeth backward. It is for adults whose upper teeth stick out and have only mild crowding.
This study compares two different methods of straightening teeth: traditional metal braces and clear aligners. It will measure how well each system works for people with moderate crowding and which one gives better results.
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.
