New jaw surgery technique for jaw alignment problems
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to reposition the lower jaw to improve bite problems in people with certain skeletal misalignments. It aims to see how well the technique works and how it affects the nerves and healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how the way the upper jaw is positioned during corrective jaw surgery affects the joint's healing over time. It may help people with a specific type of underbite who are already planning to have both upper and lower jaw surgery.
This trial tests a new digital method for planning jaw surgery that uses virtual guides instead of traditional splints. It may help make surgery more precise and reduce discomfort.
This study compares two ways of positioning your jaw during surgery to correct jaw alignment. The goal is to see if using a custom-made guide based on your own CT scans leads to better results than the standard method.
This study looks at how well people can make specific speech sounds before and after jaw alignment treatment. It may help researchers understand whether speech patterns improve with treatment in people with certain bite differences.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to fix a severe underbite caused by a small lower jaw. One method uses a special cut in the jawbone and a piece of hip bone to lengthen it, while the other uses a different jawbone cut to move the jaw forward. It will help find which approach works better for people with this condition.
This study looks at how the way your lower jaw is repositioned during corrective jaw surgery affects the natural reshaping of the jaw joint over time. The goal is to help improve long-term joint health and stability after surgery.
