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.
