Jaw repositioning surgery for facial deformities
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgical procedure to reposition the upper jaw in adults with certain jaw or facial irregularities, such as an overbite, underbite, or asymmetry. It aims to improve facial balance as an alternative to braces or other non-surgical treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial uses computer scans to create facial shape meshes for patients who had jaw surgery to correct an underbite. It aims to improve planning for future surgeries.
This study looks at how the way your lower jaw is repositioned during corrective jaw surgery affects the natural reshaping of the jaw joint over time. The goal is to help improve long-term joint health and stability after surgery.
This trial tests personalized surgical guides and implants to help surgeons precisely reposition the upper and lower jaw in patients with facial asymmetry or misalignment. The goal is to improve surgical accuracy and final bite alignment.
This study looks at how the way the upper jaw is positioned during corrective jaw surgery affects the joint's healing over time. It may help people with a specific type of underbite who are already planning to have both upper and lower jaw surgery.
This trial studies how well a treatment plan works when you start with jaw surgery and then use clear aligners for orthodontic (teeth/jaw) finishing. It may help people whose jaw growth/position problems are mainly due to the lower jaw being too far forward or the upper jaw being too far back.
This study tests a new way to reposition the lower jaw to improve bite problems in people with certain skeletal misalignments. It aims to see how well the technique works and how it affects the nerves and healing.
