Low-level laser or Piezocision to speed up canine tooth movement
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 25 years old.
- You need to have at least one upper premolar removed on each side to make room for your braces.
- You have all your permanent teeth (wisdom teeth don't count).
- Your gums and teeth are healthy, with no untreated cavities or gum disease.
- You have not had braces or orthodontic treatment before.
- You are not taking any medications or have any health conditions that affect how teeth move.

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 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 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 a procedure to widen the upper jaw using small cuts in the bone (piezocision) and checks how it affects bite strength. It may help improve how well teeth fit together.
This trial tests a special jaw repositioning device (Twin-Block) combined with low-intensity sound waves (LIPUS) to help treat a class II malocclusion (when the lower jaw is set back) in children and teens. It aims to improve jaw alignment and joint outcomes.
This study compares two ways to help your upper canine teeth move faster into place after premolar extractions: tiny holes in the bone or special light therapy. It aims to shorten your braces treatment time.
