Comparing two bracket systems for straightening teeth
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of braces (Damon Ultima brackets and Pitts 21 Pro brackets) to see if one works better for fixing moderate crowding. You may join if you have all your permanent teeth (except wisdom teeth), need braces for mild crowding, and are generally healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have all your permanent adult teeth except wisdom teeth.

This study compares two different methods of straightening teeth: traditional metal braces and clear aligners. It will measure how well each system works for people with moderate crowding and which one gives better results.
This trial compares two orthodontic appliances (KILBON and CAT) to see which works better for pulling the upper front teeth backward. It is for adults whose upper teeth stick out and have only mild crowding.
This trial tests if placing temporary anchorage devices (tiny screws used with braces) at a steady angle or in two steps works better for patients who need extra room for their teeth. It may help adults with certain bite and crowding issues.
This trial tests two different methods of using small bone anchors to move your upper back teeth further back to fix an overbite or overjet (Class II bite). It may be helpful if you've never had braces before and have good oral hygiene.
This study compares two methods of placing braces to improve smile appearance. It tests if using the natural curve of your smile works better than a standard chart for bracket positioning.
This trial compares different types of braces and clear aligners to fix a deep overbite (where top teeth cover the bottom teeth too much). It will use special 3D x-rays to see which treatment works best.
