Treating front open bite with bone-anchored appliance
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to fix a front open bite in adults. It uses a special appliance anchored to bone or screws in the upper jaw to gently push the back teeth upward, which helps close the open bite. If you have an open bite of 3 to 8 mm and need this type of orthodontic treatment, this could be an option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 15 and 27 years old.
- You have an anterior open bite (your front teeth don't touch) that is 3 to 8 mm deep.
- You need orthodontic treatment to push your upper back teeth upward with a special bone-anchored appliance.
- You are generally healthy, have never had braces, and don't have gum disease or tooth-grinding habits.

This trial tests two different dental appliances to fix an open bite in children. It compares a vertical holding appliance to a special arch bar to see which works better.
This study tests a new way to move upper front teeth into better position using braces combined with tiny holes made in the bone. The goal is to correct an overbite (when upper front teeth stick out too far) more quickly and effectively.
This trial tests two different methods of using small bone anchors to move your upper back teeth further back to fix an overbite or overjet (Class II bite). It may be helpful if you've never had braces before and have good oral hygiene.
This trial tests whether tiny holes made in the bone (micro-osteoperforation) can speed up moving your upper back molars backward using a device anchored to bone. It is for adults with a specific bite problem (Class II on both sides) who are healthy and have all their teeth.
This study tests a new 3D-printed dental device to move the upper back teeth backward in teenagers with an overjet (bucked teeth) and a class II bite. It may help correct the bite without removing teeth or using headgear.
This study tests whether new 3D-printed shape-memory aligners can effectively fix a mild-to-moderate open bite (when front teeth don't touch when you bite down). It may be a good option if you are between 18 and 35, generally healthy, and have a mild open bite with fairly straight teeth.
