Comparing mini implant placements for fixing upper teeth overbite
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests two ways of placing small temporary anchors (mini implants) in the jaw to help pull upper front teeth back into a better position. It is for patients who have finished growing and have a Class II overbite, to see which anchor location works best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are no longer growing (your jaw growth is complete).
- Your upper teeth stick out and you have a Class II bite (the upper back teeth are farther forward than the lower ones).
- You have all your permanent teeth except possibly wisdom teeth — at least up to the second molars.
- Your upper teeth have little or no crowding.
- Your face has a horizontal or average growth pattern (not a long, vertical face).
- You have not had braces before, no crossbite, no serious medical conditions affecting bone, good oral hygiene, and no cleft lip/palate. You must be willing to complete the full treatment.

This study tests a better way to plan lower jaw advancement surgery for people with a significant overbite (Class II malocclusion). It uses a clinical measurement (overjet) to guide the surgery, aiming for more accurate results.
This study compares two types of braces (Twin Block and Carriere Motion) for teens aged 14½–16 who have a Class II overbite. It also looks at how the overbite affects your quality of life and how fixing it might help you feel better.
This study compares two sizes of mini-implants (small bone screws) placed in the upper jaw to help move teeth back. It tests which size works better for people already in braces who need extra support for tooth movement.
This study compares two ways to move the upper back molars backward to fix an overbite where the upper teeth stick out too far. One method uses clear aligners, the other uses tiny temporary screws in the jawbone.
This trial tests two different methods of using small bone anchors to move your upper back teeth further back to fix an overbite or overjet (Class II bite). It may be helpful if you've never had braces before and have good oral hygiene.
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.
