Custom vs. standard jaw positioning for jaw surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of positioning your jaw during surgery to correct jaw alignment. The goal is to see if using a custom-made guide based on your own CT scans leads to better results than the standard method.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a surgery called bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (a procedure to realign your lower jaw).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have CT scans (special 3D X-rays) of your jaw both before and after surgery.
- You agree to take part in the study.
- You have not had any previous surgery on your lower jaw.
- You do not have a craniofacial syndrome (a condition affecting the shape of your head or face) or a congenital deformity (present from birth).

This study looks at how the way the upper jaw is positioned during corrective jaw surgery affects the joint's healing over time. It may help people with a specific type of underbite who are already planning to have both upper and lower jaw surgery.
This trial tests whether a full 3D computer-assisted approach helps better diagnose and correct jaw and facial deformities during orthognathic surgery. It may benefit patients who need surgery to realign their jaws.
This trial tests a new digital method for planning jaw surgery that uses virtual guides instead of traditional splints. It may help make surgery more precise and reduce discomfort.
This study tests a new way to reposition the lower jaw to improve bite problems in people with certain skeletal misalignments. It aims to see how well the technique works and how it affects the nerves and healing.
This study tests a new way to plan jaw surgery using 3D computer models, custom guides, and plates. It may help people with a certain type of jaw misalignment get more precise results from their surgery.
This study looks at two different ways of doing jaw surgery to see which one gives better stability and healing. If you are already planning to have jaw surgery, this study may help improve how well your jaw stays in place after the procedure.
