Comparing Wires for Moving Upper Canine Teeth During Braces
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 15 and 35 years old
- You have all your permanent adult teeth except possibly wisdom teeth
- Both of your upper first premolar teeth need to be extracted (removed) as part of your treatment plan
- You are already undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment (braces) with a specific bracket system
- Your upper canine teeth are already aligned and upright before the study begins
- You are currently in the early alignment stage of braces, not yet at the canine-moving stage

This study compares two ways of tying your braces wires during the stage when your canine teeth are pulled back. It is for people already getting braces that require removing upper premolars and moving canines at least 4mm.
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.
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 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 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.
This trial uses 3D imaging to measure bone and root changes when pulling an upper canine that sticks out toward the cheek into its proper position. It may help doctors understand how to treat this condition better.
