Facial mesh study for jaw surgery patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial uses computer scans to create facial shape meshes for patients who had jaw surgery to correct an underbite. It aims to improve planning for future surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had jaw surgery to fix a class III underbite (lower jaw too far forward).
- Your surgery included moving the upper jaw forward and the lower jaw backward.
- You have a CT scan of your face from before surgery and another one taken at least 6 months after surgery.
- You do not have a cleft lip or palate or any other craniofacial condition.
- You did not have any other facial surgeries or scars before your jaw surgery.

This trial tests a surgical procedure to reposition the upper jaw in adults with certain jaw or facial irregularities, such as an overbite, underbite, or asymmetry. It aims to improve facial balance as an alternative to braces or other non-surgical treatments.
This study looks at how the way your lower jaw is repositioned during corrective jaw surgery affects the natural reshaping of the jaw joint over time. The goal is to help improve long-term joint health and stability after surgery.
This trial compares a new computer-based method to standard surgery for repairing fractures of the cheekbone area. It aims to see if the virtual approach leads to more precise results.
This trial tests whether using a personalized surgical guide and custom plate helps surgeons repair cheekbone and upper jaw fractures more accurately. The goal is to improve how well the bones heal and how your face looks after surgery.
This trial tests personalized surgical guides and implants to help surgeons precisely reposition the upper and lower jaw in patients with facial asymmetry or misalignment. The goal is to improve surgical accuracy and final bite alignment.
This trial uses computer simulations to predict how your facial soft tissues will change after corrective jaw surgery. It aims to make the surgical planning more accurate and help you see possible outcomes beforehand.
