Vitamin D3 or gum massage for faster canine movement with braces
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether applying vitamin D3 or a special gum massage (corticision) next to the teeth can help move your eye teeth (canines) faster after your upper first premolars are removed for braces. It is for teenagers or young adults who already need that extraction as part of their orthodontic plan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to be between 13 and 20 years old.
- You must be scheduled to have both upper first premolars (the teeth just behind your eye teeth) pulled as part of braces treatment for an overbite and slight protrusion.
- All your permanent teeth (except wisdom teeth) must be fully out in your mouth.
- You should not have had braces or any other orthodontic treatment before.
- You must be in good overall health with no thyroid, kidney, or liver problems, and no cavities or infected teeth.

This study looks at whether taking vitamin D affects how teeth move during orthodontic treatment with braces. It may help understand if vitamin D can make tooth movement more efficient or comfortable.
This study compares two ways of moving the canine teeth back after tooth extraction during braces treatment. It aims to find which method works better and is more comfortable for patients.
This study compares two methods of moving teeth after removing upper premolars (teeth used for chewing). It aims to find which approach works better for correcting bite and alignment issues.
This study tests if a small gum surgery (alveolar decortication) plus a natural growth factor injection (CGF) can speed up tooth movement in people who need braces and have two teeth removed. It may help you have a shorter treatment time.
This trial compares two treatments to see if they can safely speed up a specific tooth movement during braces. It tests a low-level laser or a minor surgical procedure called Piezocision against standard care.
This study compares two methods to speed up moving your canine teeth into their correct position after removing the premolars: a small surgical procedure (piezocision) or a natural blood concentrate treatment (injectable platelet-rich fibrin). The goal is to see which method works better for faster, safer tooth movement.
