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 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 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 way to move your upper teeth and jaw backward using tiny screws placed in your cheekbone area, which may help correct an overbite without needing to remove teeth.
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 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 compares two sizes of tiny screws (called miniscrews) that are sometimes used with braces to help move teeth. The screws are placed in the upper jaw to help correct an overbite where the top teeth stick out too far. The study looks at how well the screws work, how stable they are, and how they feel to patients.
