Success rate of cheekbone mini-screws for braces
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests how well tiny screws placed in your upper cheek area work to support braces and move teeth into the right position. It is for adults aged 19 to 35 who need fixed braces on their upper teeth and have not had braces before.

This study compares two sizes of mini-implants (small bone screws) placed in the upper jaw to help move teeth back. It tests which size works better for people already in braces who need extra support for tooth movement.
This study tests whether using a special augmented reality (AR) headset helps orthodontists place mini-screws more accurately during braces treatment. If you are getting mini-screws for your teeth, this trial may help improve your treatment.
This study tests two ways of placing small temporary anchors (mini implants) in the jaw to help pull upper front teeth back into a better position. It is for patients who have finished growing and have a Class II overbite, to see which anchor location works best.
This trial tests whether special coated mini-screws placed in the jaw can help move teeth and resist infection. It's for teens and young adults getting premolars removed as part of braces treatment.
This trial tests if placing temporary anchorage devices (tiny screws used with braces) at a steady angle or in two steps works better for patients who need extra room for their teeth. It may help adults with certain bite and crowding issues.
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.
