Comparing two ways to speed up canine tooth movement
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two methods to speed up moving your canine teeth into their correct position after removing the premolars: a small surgical procedure (piezocision) or a natural blood concentrate treatment (injectable platelet-rich fibrin). The goal is to see which method works better for faster, safer tooth movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 14 and 22 years old.
- Your orthodontic treatment plan includes having your first premolars removed on both sides.
- You have all your permanent teeth (except wisdom teeth) and have never had braces before.
- You have good oral hygiene and no serious gum disease.
- You do not have any medical condition or take medication that could affect tooth movement, and you have no facial or jaw abnormalities.

This trial compares two treatments to see if they can safely speed up a specific tooth movement during braces. It tests a low-level laser or a minor surgical procedure called Piezocision against standard care.
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 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 study tests whether a special gel made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) can speed up tooth movement after a premolar extraction. You would be wearing braces, and one side of your mouth gets the gel while the other side is the control, so we can see if it works.
This study tests whether a special injection made from your own blood (called injectable platelet-rich fibrin) can help move your teeth faster during braces treatment. It involves removing two upper premolars and then receiving the injection to see if it speeds up straightening.
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.
