A device to correct deep curve in back molars
Part of Genetic & congenital, Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a small device (auxiliary segmental lingual appliance) placed on the inside of your lower back teeth to help correct a deep curve in your bite. It may be an option for people already in braces whose second molars tilt inward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently in braces (or other labial fixed orthodontic treatment).
- Your lower back molars (second molars) tilt inward toward your tongue, creating a deep curve on both sides.
- You are willing to join the study and sign a consent form.
- You do not have trouble opening your mouth wide or a strong gag reflex that would interfere with a small device placed on your back teeth.

This trial tests whether a new type of attachment (beveled) on clear aligners works better than standard attachments for moving teeth in adults. If you are getting aligner treatment and need certain tooth movements on both sides of your mouth, this study may help improve your results.
This trial compares different types of braces and clear aligners to fix a deep overbite (where top teeth cover the bottom teeth too much). It will use special 3D x-rays to see which treatment works best.
This trial is testing a new 3D-printed device that moves your upper molars backward to correct a specific type of bite problem (Class II). It may help you if you have a clear overbite on both sides and your second molars are already in place.
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 trial tests a special dental appliance (a lip bumper with a distal shoe) to help prevent the second molars from getting stuck and to fix a deep bite in children. It may be a good fit for kids ages 8–11 who still have some baby teeth and have a deep bite.
This study looks at whether a removable mouth “expansion appliance” can help the lower jaw grow forward in children whose bite is too far back. It may help improve the way the upper and lower teeth and jaws fit together.
