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 tests a procedure to speed up tooth movement after removing certain back teeth. It may help you get braces treatment done faster.
This study compares two ways of moving the canine teeth back after tooth extraction during braces treatment. It aims to find which method works better and is more comfortable for patients.
This study compares two methods of moving teeth after removing upper premolars (teeth used for chewing). It aims to find which approach works better for correcting bite and alignment issues.
This study compares two sizes of tiny screws (called miniscrews) that are sometimes used with braces to help move teeth. The screws are placed in the upper jaw to help correct an overbite where the top teeth stick out too far. The study looks at how well the screws work, how stable they are, and how they feel to patients.
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 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.
