Comparing How Wires Are Tied During Braces Canine Retraction
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of tying your braces wires during the stage when your canine teeth are pulled back. It is for people already getting braces that require removing upper premolars and moving canines at least 4mm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 16 years old.
- Your orthodontic plan must include removing one or both upper first premolars.
- You must need a Nance appliance for maximum anchorage (a dental device that keeps back teeth from moving forward).
- You must need at least 4mm of space to move your upper canine teeth back.
- You must have good oral hygiene (healthy gums and teeth).

This study tests two types of orthodontic wires to see which one more effectively moves your upper canine teeth backward when you're already wearing fixed braces. The goal is to find the best method for straightening your bite with minimal side effects.
This study tests whether applying vitamin D3 or a special gum massage (corticision) next to the teeth can help move your eye teeth (canines) faster after your upper first premolars are removed for braces. It is for teenagers or young adults who already need that extraction as part of their orthodontic plan.
This trial tests if placing temporary anchorage devices (tiny screws used with braces) at a steady angle or in two steps works better for patients who need extra room for their teeth. It may help adults with certain bite and crowding issues.
This trial compares two methods of moving upper canine teeth back after premolar extractions: nickel-titanium closed-coil springs versus elastomeric chains. It uses a special 3D X-ray to see how roots and jawbone change, helping doctors choose the gentler, more effective method.
This trial compares a surgery-assisted technique to the standard braces method for moving canine teeth into the space left by removing a premolar. It looks at how much root shortening (resorption) happens with each method.
This trial compares two methods (nickel-titanium coils and elastic power chains) to close the gap after removing premolars during braces treatment. It aims to find which method works best for moving teeth.
