3D jaw study for sleep breathing problems
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, 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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests if a new 3D scanning method can better fit a dental device (MAD) for people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It may help those using a MAD get more effective treatment.
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 trial tests a modified version of a Twin Block appliance (a type of brace) to see how it changes the position of the jaw and teeth in growing boys with a small lower jaw. It aims to help correct the bite and improve the smile.
