Comparing two jaw-aligning braces for kids with overbite
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests two different braces that help guide the jaw into a better position as a child grows. The goal is to see which one improves the airway and jaw joint while correcting the bite.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two types of braces (a 3D-printed removable brace and a fixed brace called MARA) to see which works better for correcting a bite problem where the lower jaw is too far back. It is designed for teenagers who are still growing and have a large overbite.
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.
This trial compares two types of braces (aesthetic functional appliances and twin blocks) to fix ‘overbite’ where the lower jaw is too small and the upper teeth stick way out. It’s for kids/teens who are still growing and haven’t had braces before.
This study compares two early braces treatments for children with a large overjet and a specific bite problem. It looks at which approach works better before moving on to full braces.
This trial compares a new 3D-printed twin block brace to a traditional one for children with a large overbite (overjet ≥7 mm). It checks how well germs stick, how smooth the brace is, and how well it works—plus how children feel about it.
This trial compares two different braces (a Herbst appliance and Invisalign MA) to see which works better for teenagers whose upper jaw is too far forward. It's for kids who are still growing and have a specific type of overbite.
