Lip bumper to prevent second molar impaction in children with deep bite
Part of Injuries & trauma, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 8 and 11 years old
- They should still have some baby teeth, and their second molars should not have come in yet
- They must have a deep bite of at least 2 mm (upper front teeth overlap lower front teeth)
- They should not have had braces or other orthodontic treatment before
- They must be in good general health with no conditions that affect bone growth or the face, and no severe tooth decay or gum problems

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.
This trial compares a facemask device with upper braces to correct underbite in children ages 7–10. It aims to find which treatment works better to align the jaw and teeth.
This trial tests a special dental device that is glued to the teeth to correct an underbite in children aged 8-11. It aims to improve the way the upper and lower jaws fit together.
This trial compares two types of dental devices—a crib behind the teeth or small spurs on the teeth—to help children who have an open bite (a gap between the upper and lower front teeth when biting down) and a tongue-thrusting habit. The goal is to see which device works better to close the bite.
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 trial tests a special 3D-printed brace to fix underbite in children aged 8-13 who still have growing upper jaws. The brace encourages the upper jaw to grow forward and corrects the bite.
