Soft tissue prediction for jaw surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to predict how facial soft tissues will change after jaw surgery using advanced imaging. It may help people needing orthognathic surgery to understand the likely aesthetic outcome.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for orthognathic (jaw) surgery
- You are 18 years or older
- You will have a preoperative CBCT (3D X-ray) and MRI scan
- You will have preoperative X-rays (teleradiography and orthopantomography)
- You do not have cleft lip/palate or facial syndromes like Apert, Crouzon, Pfeiffer, or Treacher Collins
- You have not had Medpor facial implants or previous facial augmentation procedures

This trial uses computer simulations to predict how your facial soft tissues will change after corrective jaw surgery. It aims to make the surgical planning more accurate and help you see possible outcomes beforehand.
This trial tests whether using a handheld 3D scanner is as accurate as a standard optical scanner for predicting soft tissue changes after corrective jaw surgery. It aims to find a more convenient and accessible way to plan surgery for patients with an underbite.
This trial tests personalized surgical guides and implants to help surgeons precisely reposition the upper and lower jaw in patients with facial asymmetry or misalignment. The goal is to improve surgical accuracy and final bite alignment.
This study looks at how patients feel emotionally and physically before and after jaw surgery. It uses special software and questionnaires to track emotions, and checks the jaw joint and muscles after surgery. The goal is to see how these relate to recovery in patients having planned jaw surgery.
This trial uses eye-tracking to measure how people look at faces after jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery). It is designed to help researchers understand changes in social attention following the procedure.
This study looks at how jaw surgery affects your mood and how you feel about your appearance. You will answer questions one week before surgery and again 6 months after, and you need to use social media as part of the research.
