Comparing two ways to move canine teeth after premolar removal
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 12 and 30 years old.
- You need one of your upper first premolars removed to make space, and your canine tooth needs to be moved into that space.
- Your jaw alignment is normal (not a very steep or flat lower jaw).
- Your gums and jawbone are healthy, with no existing root damage.
- You are not taking any long-term medications like strong pain relievers, bone drugs, or seizure medicines that could affect tooth movement.
- You can commit to attending all scheduled appointments.

This study compares removing two back teeth early versus later during braces treatment to see which timing leads to better tooth movement. It may help teens and young adults needing braces for crowded teeth or overbite.
This trial compares two methods of moving upper canine teeth back after premolar extractions: nickel-titanium closed-coil springs versus elastomeric chains. It uses a special 3D X-ray to see how roots and jawbone change, helping doctors choose the gentler, more effective method.
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.
This trial compares two methods to speed up the retraction of upper canine teeth after premolar extraction for orthodontic treatment. One method uses tiny micro-holes in the bone, the other uses low-level laser or light therapy.
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.
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.
