Planning lower jaw advancement for overbite
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new way of planning jaw surgery to bring the lower jaw forward, which can help correct an overbite. It may improve how well the surgery fits your bite.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a gap of at least 4 mm between your upper and lower front teeth.

This study compares two types of early braces (one traditional and one new design) to treat an overbite in children. It aims to see which approach works better before they get full braces later.
This study compares two types of braces to fix an overbite in teens who have finished most of their facial growth. It also looks at how having a misaligned bite affects daily life and how treatment may improve it.
This study tests two ways of placing small temporary anchors (mini implants) in the jaw to help pull upper front teeth back into a better position. It is for patients who have finished growing and have a Class II overbite, to see which anchor location works best.
This study tests a preformed appliance designed to widen a narrow upper jaw. It may help people whose upper jaw is too narrow, causing their back teeth to cross or tilt inward.
This study compares two types of braces (functional appliances) used to fix an overbite caused by a lower jaw that is too far back. It looks at which brace works better for growing teenagers. If your child needs jaw alignment, this trial could help them get treatment.
This trial studies how well a treatment plan works when you start with jaw surgery and then use clear aligners for orthodontic (teeth/jaw) finishing. It may help people whose jaw growth/position problems are mainly due to the lower jaw being too far forward or the upper jaw being too far back.
