Vitamin D injection in gum to speed tooth movement
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests if a small injection of activated vitamin D (calcitriol) into the gum can help move your upper canine tooth faster after premolar removal. It is for teens and adults who need braces to fix their bite.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two methods to speed up the retraction of upper canine teeth after premolar extraction for orthodontic treatment. One method uses tiny micro-holes in the bone, the other uses low-level laser or light therapy.
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 applying vitamin D near the extraction site can speed up how quickly your canine teeth move into the gap after premolars are removed. It might help shorten your orthodontic treatment.
This study tests whether vitamin D supplements help speed up or improve tooth movement during braces treatment. It might be a good fit if you are getting braces for a specific bite problem and are in good overall health.
This study tests if a small gum surgery (alveolar decortication) plus a natural growth factor injection (CGF) can speed up tooth movement in people who need braces and have two teeth removed. It may help you have a shorter treatment time.
This trial compares a surgery-assisted technique to the standard braces method for moving canine teeth into the space left by removing a premolar. It looks at how much root shortening (resorption) happens with each method.
