Comparing two ways to place temporary jaw anchors for braces
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of placing tiny orthodontic anchors (called temporary anchorage devices, or TADs) in the jaw to help braces move teeth effectively. It tests if one insertion method is more stable and comfortable than the other, which may improve treatment outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- Your orthodontic treatment must include removing all four first premolar teeth (the teeth just behind the canines).
- You should have mild to moderate crowding in your front teeth (less than 5 mm of overlap).
- Your upper and lower front teeth should be tilted outward, and you shouldn't have a large overjet (less than 6 mm).
- You must have good gum health (a basic periodontal exam score of 0, 1, or 2).
- You cannot have certain health conditions (like diabetes or osteoporosis), be pregnant, or have allergies to titanium.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two sizes of tiny screws (called miniscrews) that are sometimes used with braces to help move teeth. The screws are placed in the upper jaw to help correct an overbite where the top teeth stick out too far. The study looks at how well the screws work, how stable they are, and how they feel to patients.
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 study compares two ways of moving the canine teeth back after tooth extraction during braces treatment. It aims to find which method works better and is more comfortable for patients.
This study compares two types of braces (functional appliances) used to fix an overbite caused by a lower jaw that is too far back. It looks at which brace works better for growing teenagers. If your child needs jaw alignment, this trial could help them get treatment.
This study tests two ways of placing small temporary anchors (mini implants) in the jaw to help pull upper front teeth back into a better position. It is for patients who have finished growing and have a Class II overbite, to see which anchor location works best.
This study compares two different types of braces to see which works better for fixing moderate crowding in people with a normal bite. You'll get one of the two brace systems, and the goal is to straighten your teeth effectively.
