Faster Upper Front Tooth Movement With Micro-holes
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 15 and 25 years old
- Your upper front teeth stick out at least 4 mm more than your lower front teeth
- All your permanent adult teeth have come in (except wisdom teeth)
- You have never had braces or orthodontic treatment before
- Your gums are healthy with no signs of disease or infection

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 tests special small screws coated with nano-material to help move upper front teeth back into place during braces treatment. The screws act as anchors to make tooth movement more effective for patients with protruding upper front teeth.
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 compares two approaches to move teeth faster during braces treatment: micro-perforations (small holes in the bone around teeth) alone versus micro-perforations combined with low-level laser therapy. The goal is to see if adding laser therapy speeds up tooth movement and reduces treatment time.
This trial tests whether tiny holes made in the bone (micro-osteoperforation) can speed up moving your upper back molars backward using a device anchored to bone. It is for adults with a specific bite problem (Class II on both sides) who are healthy and have all their teeth.
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.
