3D printed brace for children with underbite
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 8 and 13 years old
- Your upper jaw still has some growth left (checked with an x-ray)
- Your permanent back teeth and lower front teeth are in place
- Your upper front teeth are behind your lower front teeth (underbite)
- You have a crossbite (top teeth sit inside bottom teeth) in the back on one or both sides
- You have mild to moderate crowding in your front teeth

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.
This trial is testing a new 3D-printed device that moves your upper molars backward to correct a specific type of bite problem (Class II). It may help you if you have a clear overbite on both sides and your second molars are already in place.
This trial compares two dental appliances—Twin Block and Myobrace—to see which one better improves your airway and facial shape during the teenage growth spurt. If you have a set-back lower jaw and moderate overbite, participating could help guide your jaw growth and breathing.
This study tests a new 3D-printed dental device to move the upper back teeth backward in teenagers with an overjet (bucked teeth) and a class II bite. It may help correct the bite without removing teeth or using headgear.
This trial compares a new 3D-printed twin block brace to a traditional one for children with a large overbite (overjet ≥7 mm). It checks how well germs stick, how smooth the brace is, and how well it works—plus how children feel about it.
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.
