Biological changes during lower front tooth movement
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study examines what happens in your mouth at a biological level when orthodontists move your lower front teeth inward to correct a deep bite. You'll need braces and be willing to have samples taken during treatment to help doctors understand how teeth move.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need braces to fix a deep bite (your lower front teeth bite too far inside your upper teeth)
- You are between 18 and 30 years old
- You have never had braces or orthodontic treatment before
- You have healthy gums with no signs of gum disease
- You do not smoke
- You have no bone or metabolic disorders (like osteoporosis or diabetes affecting bones)

This study tests a new way to move upper front teeth into better position using braces combined with tiny holes made in the bone. The goal is to correct an overbite (when upper front teeth stick out too far) more quickly and effectively.
This study compares different orthodontic force plans to see how they affect “root resorption,” when the tooth root shortens over time. It’s meant to find safer ways to move front lower teeth in teens who have a deep bite.
This trial compares how bite force and bone turnover markers change during the retention phase (after braces) in people with high-angle and low-angle face types. It may help understand why some people have more relapse after braces.
This trial tests whether a technique called tiny “micro-punctures” in the jaw bone can speed up orthodontic tooth movement in people with moderate front-lower tooth crowding. It uses clear aligners and may help teeth move faster, but only if you meet the dental and medical safety requirements.
This study tests a new way to fix a front open bite in adults. It uses a special appliance anchored to bone or screws in the upper jaw to gently push the back teeth upward, which helps close the open bite. If you have an open bite of 3 to 8 mm and need this type of orthodontic treatment, this could be an option.
This trial tests whether a new type of attachment (beveled) on clear aligners works better than standard attachments for moving teeth in adults. If you are getting aligner treatment and need certain tooth movements on both sides of your mouth, this study may help improve your results.
