Clear aligners for growing kids with mild underbite
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether clear aligners can fix a mild underbite in growing children aged 8 to 11. It compares how well the aligners move teeth and jaws compared to other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Mild underbite (lower jaw slightly ahead of upper jaw)
- Mild to moderate reverse overjet (top teeth sit slightly behind bottom teeth)
- Normal or short face height

- No severe jaw or dental problems

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 tests two different face mask devices to see which works better for correcting an underbite in growing children and teens. It may help improve the alignment of the upper and lower jaw.
This trial tests whether clear aligners can safely widen the upper jaw in children with cleft lip and palate who still have some baby teeth. It may be an option for those needing jaw expansion without braces.
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 compares clear plastic aligners with fixed braces to improve mild overbite (Class II) in adults who have not had orthodontics before. It may help you understand which option works better for your bite and alignment while also checking fit and dental health needs.
This trial looks at clear braces (aligner) treatment for straightening teeth, using remote monitoring and computer-guided (AI) check-ins. It may help by making treatment progress easier to track and adjust.
