Testing a 3D-printed molar-moving device for bite correction
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new 3D-printed device that moves your upper molars backward to correct a specific type of bite problem (Class II). It may help you if you have a clear overbite on both sides and your second molars are already in place.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have a Class II bite (upper molars too far forward) on both sides of your mouth.
- Your second molars (the teeth behind your 12-year molars) must be fully grown in.
- Your lower teeth should have little to no crowding, so your back teeth can meet properly after treatment.
- You must have good oral health with no cavities or gum disease.
- You cannot have had braces or other orthodontic treatment before.
- You cannot have a cleft lip or palate, or any craniofacial syndrome.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways to move the upper back molars backward to fix an overbite where the upper teeth stick out too far. One method uses clear aligners, the other uses tiny temporary screws in the jawbone.
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 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 study tests a new 3D-printed dental device to move the upper back teeth backward in teenagers with an overjet (bucked teeth) and a class II bite. It may help correct the bite without removing teeth or using headgear.
This study tests whether new 3D-printed shape-memory aligners can effectively fix a mild-to-moderate open bite (when front teeth don't touch when you bite down). It may be a good option if you are between 18 and 35, generally healthy, and have a mild open bite with fairly straight teeth.
This trial tests whether tiny holes made in the bone (micro-osteoperforation) can speed up moving your upper back molars backward using a device anchored to bone. It is for adults with a specific bite problem (Class II on both sides) who are healthy and have all their teeth.
