Long-term stability of open-bite orthodontic treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at whether orthodontic treatment for anterior open bite (a gap between upper and lower front teeth when biting down) stays stable over time. The researchers want to understand what helps the correction last.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with anterior open bite (a gap between your front teeth when you bite down), either in the past or currently
- You do not have a genetic craniofacial condition (a hereditary syndrome affecting skull or face structure)
- You are willing to participate in a follow-up study about your orthodontic treatment outcomes

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways to fix an open bite (where front teeth don't touch): clear aligners like Invisalign versus traditional braces. If you qualify, you'll get one of these treatments to help close the gap and improve your bite.
This study tests whether new 3D-printed shape-memory aligners can effectively fix a mild-to-moderate open bite (when front teeth don't touch when you bite down). It may be a good option if you are between 18 and 35, generally healthy, and have a mild open bite with fairly straight teeth.
This study tests how well a dental device called a Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) prevents changes in your bite and jaw alignment. It is for adults with sleep-disordered breathing who already have healthy, well-restored teeth.
This study tests a therapy that teaches children with open bite how to position their tongue and swallow correctly, which may help close the gap between their teeth. It is designed for children aged 6 to 10 who have an open bite and an infantile swallowing pattern.
This study compares how different face types maintain their bite after orthodontic braces are removed. Researchers will use 3D imaging to track whether teeth stay in their corrected positions during the retention phase (when you wear retainers).
This trial tests two different dental appliances to fix an open bite in children. It compares a vertical holding appliance to a special arch bar to see which works better.
