Comparing tooth-moving methods for braces patients
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of moving the canine teeth back after tooth extraction during braces treatment. It aims to find which method works better and is more comfortable for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 16 years or older.
- You need to have one or both upper first premolars (the teeth just behind your canines) removed as part of your braces plan.
- Your orthodontist has planned to use a Nance appliance (a device to keep back teeth from moving forward) for maximum anchorage.
- You need at least 4mm of space to move your upper canine teeth back.
- You 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 compares two methods of moving teeth after removing upper premolars (teeth used for chewing). It aims to find which approach works better for correcting bite and alignment issues.
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 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 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 study compares two methods used in braces to pull your upper canine teeth (the pointy teeth next to your front teeth) back after premolars are removed. It uses special 3D X-rays to see how these methods affect the roots and the bone around your teeth.
