Bite correction for children with underbite
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a special dental device that is glued to the teeth to correct an underbite in children aged 8-11. It aims to improve the way the upper and lower jaws fit together.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 8 and 11 years old with a mild underbite.
- Your child still has some baby teeth (mixed dentition).
- The upper front teeth are behind the lower front teeth by 1 to 4 millimeters.
- The overbite (how much the upper teeth cover the lower teeth) is between 1 and 5 millimeters.
- Your child does not have any serious medical condition that could affect dental treatment.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study tests whether clear aligners can fix a mild underbite in growing children aged 8 to 11. It compares how well the aligners move teeth and jaws compared to other treatments.
This trial compares two ways to fix an underbite in growing children: a traditional face mask that attaches to the teeth versus a newer chin-plate that anchors to the bone. The goal is to see which method moves the upper jaw forward more effectively and safely.
This trial tests a special jaw repositioning device (Twin-Block) combined with low-intensity sound waves (LIPUS) to help treat a class II malocclusion (when the lower jaw is set back) in children and teens. It aims to improve jaw alignment and joint outcomes.
This trial tests two different dental appliances to fix an open bite in children. It compares a vertical holding appliance to a special arch bar to see which works better.
This trial compares two dental appliances to widen the upper jaw in children with a cross-bite, a condition where the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth when biting down. The goal is to see which device works better to correct this bite issue.
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.
