Comparing two appliances for fixing open bite in children
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child should be between 6 and 12 years old.
- They must have an open bite (front teeth that don't touch when closing the mouth).
- Their jaw and bite should be classified as Class I or II (a common type of bite problem).
- The front teeth and upper back molars should already be in place.
- Oral hygiene must be good (no severe tooth decay or gum problems).
- No previous orthodontic treatment, missing teeth, or crossbite (back teeth that bite sideways).

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 study compares two types of braces (functional appliances) used to fix an overbite caused by a lower jaw that is too far back. It looks at which brace works better for growing teenagers. If your child needs jaw alignment, this trial could help them get treatment.
This trial compares two types of expanders (Leaf Expander vs. Hyrax Expander) to fix crossbites in children who still have some baby teeth. The goal is to see which device works better and is more comfortable.
This trial tests whether adding small plastic bumps, called bite turbos, to a palate expander helps widen the upper jaw better than the expander alone in early teens. This may correct a crossbite, where upper teeth sit inside lower teeth when biting down.
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.
This trial compares a facemask device with upper braces to correct underbite in children ages 7–10. It aims to find which treatment works better to align the jaw and teeth.
