Tracking tooth movement after pulling in upper canine
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial uses 3D imaging to measure bone and root changes when pulling an upper canine that sticks out toward the cheek into its proper position. It may help doctors understand how to treat this condition better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are of Yemeni ethnicity.
- You have one upper canine tooth that is sticking out toward your cheek (not both).
- The canine on the other side is in its normal position and has come in properly.
- You have mild to moderate crowding of your teeth.
- You need braces or other fixed orthodontic treatment.
- You do not have a front-to-back bite problem (such as overbite or underbite).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two methods (sliding jigs vs retraction hooks) to move your upper teeth backward using small screws placed in your jawbone. It may help if you have a mild overbite or crowded upper teeth and want to avoid removing teeth.
This study tests two types of orthodontic wires to see which one more effectively moves your upper canine teeth backward when you're already wearing fixed braces. The goal is to find the best method for straightening your bite with minimal side effects.
This trial tests whether a new type of attachment (beveled) on clear aligners works better than standard attachments for moving teeth in adults. If you are getting aligner treatment and need certain tooth movements on both sides of your mouth, this study may help improve your results.
This trial compares a surgery-assisted technique to the standard braces method for moving canine teeth into the space left by removing a premolar. It looks at how much root shortening (resorption) happens with each method.
This trial tests whether early treatment can help guide a misplaced upper permanent canine tooth into its correct position. It may be a good option if your canine tooth is not coming in normally and is not pushed toward the cheek.
This trial is testing a new 3D-printed device that moves your upper molars backward to correct a specific type of bite problem (Class II). It may help you if you have a clear overbite on both sides and your second molars are already in place.
