Treating reversed bite in children with small upper jaw
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment for children ages 9–12 with a certain kind of 'underbite' (called a reversed bite) caused by a small upper jaw. The goal is to see if treatment can help the jaw grow better and fix the bite.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is 9 to 12 years old.
- Your child has a 'reversed bite' where the lower front teeth are in front of the upper ones, caused by a small upper jaw.
- Parents or guardians must give permission for the study.
- The overbite is not mainly due to a too-large lower jaw.
- No known syndromes or craniofacial conditions.
- No untreated mouth breathing (from large tonsils/adenoids) or jaw joint problems that need treatment first.

This trial tests a special 3D-printed brace to fix underbite in children aged 8-13 who still have growing upper jaws. The brace encourages the upper jaw to grow forward and corrects the bite.
This study compares two early braces treatments for children with a large overjet and a specific bite problem. It looks at which approach works better before moving on to full braces.
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 study looks at whether a removable mouth “expansion appliance” can help the lower jaw grow forward in children whose bite is too far back. It may help improve the way the upper and lower teeth and jaws fit together.
This trial compares a facemask device with upper braces to correct underbite in children ages 7–10. It aims to find which treatment works better to align the jaw and teeth.
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.
