Comparing methods to move canine teeth during braces
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 16 years old or older.
- You are getting braces (fixed orthodontic appliances) to straighten your teeth.
- You need to have your upper first premolars (the teeth just behind your canine teeth) removed on both sides.
- You have not had orthodontic treatment before.
- You do not have facial injuries, birth defects of the face or skull, use of blood thinners, problems with your canine teeth, or gum disease.

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 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.
This trial compares two methods for moving your upper canine teeth back after having upper premolars removed, as part of braces treatment. It aims to find which method works better for people with crowded 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 ways of moving a canine tooth into the space left by a removed premolar. One method uses a small surgical procedure to help the tooth move faster, and the researchers will check if this causes more stress on the tooth root compared to the standard method.
This trial tests different force levels to move canine teeth after premolar extraction in teens. Results may help orthodontists choose the best force for faster, safer tooth movement.
