Fixing the upper jaw with custom plates during jaw surgery
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of placing custom plates during jaw surgery to fix the upper jaw. One method uses a smaller incision and plates on one spot, while the other uses larger incisions and plates on two spots. The goal is to see which gives more accurate results, which may improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need upper and lower jaw surgery (bimaxillary) to correct jaw and teeth misalignment.
- You should not have active jaw joint (TMJ) pain, clicking, or other symptoms.
- You must be in good general health so surgery and healing go smoothly.
- You need to be highly motivated to follow the treatment and all appointments.
- No active infections or cysts in the jawbone that could interfere with healing.
