Early braces for children with overbite
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two types of early braces (one traditional and one new design) to treat an overbite in children. It aims to see which approach works better before they get full braces later.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 9 and 13 years old when the study starts.
- Your child must have a mix of baby and adult teeth (mixed dentition) and a specific stage of dental development (DS3M1).
- The front teeth should stick out at least 6 millimeters (about a quarter of an inch).
- The back molars on both sides should be in a certain bite position (Class II).
- Your child's lips should not close completely without straining.

This study compares two types of braces to fix an overbite in teens who have finished most of their facial growth. It also looks at how having a misaligned bite affects daily life and how treatment may improve it.
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 a new 3D-printed twin block brace to a traditional one for children with a large overbite (overjet ≥7 mm). It checks how well germs stick, how smooth the brace is, and how well it works—plus how children feel about it.
This study tests a new way of planning jaw surgery to bring the lower jaw forward, which can help correct an overbite. It may improve how well the surgery fits your bite.
This study tests a treatment to help children with a small upper jaw (which causes an underbite) by guiding the upper jaw to grow forward. The goal is to improve bite alignment and reduce the need for surgery later in life.
This study tests a removable orthodontic device (twin-block with clear plates) to improve how the upper and lower jaws fit together in children. It may help if you have a specific “Class II” jaw pattern caused mainly by a lower jaw that sits back.
