Ready-made vs custom-made braces for jaw correction
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of orthodontic appliances to correct a Class II bite (where the upper teeth sit too far forward). It tests whether a custom-made device works better than a ready-made one for teens.

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.
This study tests a new 3D-printed dental device to move the upper back teeth backward in teenagers with an overjet (bucked teeth) and a class II bite. It may help correct the bite without removing teeth or using headgear.
This study compares two types of braces (Twin Block and Carriere Motion) for teens aged 14½–16 who have a Class II overbite. It also looks at how the overbite affects your quality of life and how fixing it might help you feel better.
This study compares two early braces treatments for children with a large overjet and a specific bite problem. It looks at which approach works better before moving on to full braces.
This trial compares clear plastic aligners with fixed braces to improve mild overbite (Class II) in adults who have not had orthodontics before. It may help you understand which option works better for your bite and alignment while also checking fit and dental health needs.
This trial compares two types of braces (aesthetic functional appliances and twin blocks) to fix ‘overbite’ where the lower jaw is too small and the upper teeth stick way out. It’s for kids/teens who are still growing and haven’t had braces before.
