Predicting extraction needs for orthodontic treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a method to help dentists decide if you need tooth extractions before braces. Researchers will look at dental models to see if this analysis tool is accurate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to have a dental model (a plaster or digital copy) of your upper teeth showing how they are misaligned.

This study compares two different methods of straightening teeth: traditional metal braces and clear aligners. It will measure how well each system works for people with moderate crowding and which one gives better results.
This study compares removing two back teeth early versus later during braces treatment to see which timing leads to better tooth movement. It may help teens and young adults needing braces for crowded teeth or overbite.
This trial tests different force levels to move canine teeth after premolar extraction in teens. Results may help orthodontists choose the best force for faster, safer tooth movement.
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 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.
This study compares clear aligners (removable trays) to traditional braces for treating crowded lower front teeth. It aims to see which method works better and is more comfortable for patients.
