3D jaw study for sleep breathing problems
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at how a small lower jaw and large overbite relate to sleep-related breathing issues, using 3D scans and functional appliances.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a small lower jaw (retrognathic mandible) pushed back from the upper jaw.
- You have a large overjet, meaning your upper front teeth stick out noticeably past the lower front teeth.
- You do not have any major birth defects or conditions affecting your face, jaw, or skull.

This study tests a treatment to help children with a small upper jaw (which causes an underbite) by guiding the upper jaw to grow forward. The goal is to improve bite alignment and reduce the need for surgery later in life.
This study looks at the link between sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) and a narrow upper jaw (crossbite) in children ages 6 to 16. It may help understand if treating the jaw can improve sleep breathing.
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 looks at how jaw and palate treatments affect airflow through the upper airway in children with a specific bite and jaw shape. It may help researchers understand which treatments improve space for breathing and related pressure changes.
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 looks at how narrow upper jaws (maxillary constriction) relate to sleep apnea in children with mixed teeth. It aims to understand if dental problems affect breathing during sleep and guide future treatments.
