Jaw Device and Sound Waves for Class II Malocclusion
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a special jaw repositioning device (Twin-Block) combined with low-intensity sound waves (LIPUS) to help treat a class II malocclusion (when the lower jaw is set back) in children and teens. It aims to improve jaw alignment and joint outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a class II malocclusion caused by your lower jaw being set back (not because your upper jaw sticks out too far).
- You are still growing (your jaw development stage is at stage 2 or 3 out of 6).
- Your upper front teeth are tilted forward.
- You have a gap of more than 5 millimeters between your upper and lower front teeth when you bite normally.
- Your lower teeth are reasonably straight (no major crowding).
- You have never had braces or other orthodontic treatment before.

This study compares two types of braces (Twin Block and Carriere Motion) for teens aged 14½–16 who have a Class II overbite. It also looks at how the overbite affects your quality of life and how fixing it might help you feel better.
This trial tests a special dental device that is glued to the teeth to correct an underbite in children aged 8-11. It aims to improve the way the upper and lower jaws fit together.
This trial compares two treatments to see if they can safely speed up a specific tooth movement during braces. It tests a low-level laser or a minor surgical procedure called Piezocision against standard care.
This trial compares two types of braces (aesthetic functional appliances and twin blocks) to fix ‘overbite’ where the lower jaw is too small and the upper teeth stick way out. It’s for kids/teens who are still growing and haven’t had braces before.
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.
This study tests a removable orthodontic device (twin-block with clear plates) to improve how the upper and lower jaws fit together in children. It may help if you have a specific “Class II” jaw pattern caused mainly by a lower jaw that sits back.
