Comparing 3D face scan methods for jaw surgery patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an underbite (mandibular prognathism) that needs surgical correction.
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You are willing to have surgery and follow-up appointments, and you understand and sign a consent form.
- Your underbite cannot be fixed with braces alone.
- You do not have any health condition that makes general anesthesia unsafe, such as severe heart or lung disease.
- You do not have a bone disease or are currently receiving radiation therapy.

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.
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 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 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 trial tests whether a full 3D computer-assisted approach helps better diagnose and correct jaw and facial deformities during orthognathic surgery. It may benefit patients who need surgery to realign their jaws.
This trial tests a new digital method for planning jaw surgery that uses virtual guides instead of traditional splints. It may help make surgery more precise and reduce discomfort.
