New technique for impacted upper canine teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new method to expose an upper canine tooth that is stuck behind the other teeth (palatally impacted). If you have one impacted canine on one side and it's not too high or angled, this study may compare a newer, less invasive exposure technique to the standard approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one upper canine tooth that is stuck behind the other teeth on the roof of your mouth (palatally impacted)
- The impacted tooth is in sector 2, 3, or 4 (moderate position, not too far forward)
- The angle of the impacted tooth is less than 45 degrees
- You have not had braces or other orthodontic treatment before
- You do not have a cleft lip/palate or any syndrome that affects facial growth

This study compares two computer methods for measuring an upper canine tooth that has not come in properly. It uses a 3D scanning tool to see which method gives more accurate results and could help dentists plan better treatments.
This trial tests whether early treatment can help guide a misplaced upper permanent canine tooth into its correct position. It may be a good option if your canine tooth is not coming in normally and is not pushed toward the cheek.
This study compares two ways of retracting the canine teeth after premolar removal to see which works faster or better. It may help us improve orthodontic treatment for people who need their upper canines pulled back.
This trial compares two methods for moving your upper canine teeth back after having upper premolars removed, as part of braces treatment. It aims to find which method works better for people with crowded teeth.
This trial tests whether a new mixed-reality technology helps guide an impacted canine tooth into the correct position. It may be a good option if you have a canine that is stuck high up in the roof of your mouth and you are already in braces to make room for it.
This study compares two ways of moving a canine tooth into the space left by a removed premolar. One method uses a small surgical procedure to help the tooth move faster, and the researchers will check if this causes more stress on the tooth root compared to the standard method.
