3D-Printed Braces vs. MARA for jaw alignment
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of braces (a 3D-printed removable brace and a fixed brace called MARA) to see which works better for correcting a bite problem where the lower jaw is too far back. It is designed for teenagers who are still growing and have a large overbite.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a teenager or pre-teen still in your growth spurt (around ages 10–16 for girls, 12–18 for boys).
