Vitamin D effects on tooth movement with braces
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at whether taking vitamin D affects how teeth move during orthodontic treatment with braces. It may help understand if vitamin D can make tooth movement more efficient or comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 whether a vitamin D gel applied to the gums can help move your canine teeth faster after you get braces. It might shorten your overall treatment time.
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 three different treatments (MOP, prostaglandin E1, and calcitriol) to see if they can make teeth move faster during orthodontic treatment. If you're getting braces for moderate crowding, this could reduce your treatment time.
This trial looks at whether vitamin D levels affect how well a special expander (MARPE) works to fix a narrow upper jaw in teens. If you are 15–18 and have a narrow upper jaw, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a new digital communication tool that helps your dentist and orthodontist work together better. The goal is to improve how your teeth are cared for while you have braces.
