Clear aligners versus braces for treating open bite
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to fix an open bite (where front teeth don't touch): clear aligners like Invisalign versus traditional braces. If you qualify, you'll get one of these treatments to help close the gap and improve your bite.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 30 years old.
- You need an open bite of at least 2 mm (front teeth don't overlap vertically).
- Your bite should be Class I, meaning the back teeth fit together normally.
- You must have healthy gums and good oral hygiene.
- You should not have had braces or aligners before.
- You must not have any jaw/facial growth problems, joint disorders, or conditions that affect bone health.

This study tests whether new 3D-printed shape-memory aligners can effectively fix a mild-to-moderate open bite (when front teeth don't touch when you bite down). It may be a good option if you are between 18 and 35, generally healthy, and have a mild open bite with fairly straight teeth.
This study looks at whether orthodontic treatment for anterior open bite (a gap between upper and lower front teeth when biting down) stays stable over time. The researchers want to understand what helps the correction last.
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 study compares three ways to correct a deep bite (when upper teeth excessively overlap lower teeth): clear aligners, a specialized brace (ABT), and a removable appliance (RCOS). It uses 3D imaging to see which method works best, and aims to find the most effective treatment for patients like you.
This study compares two ways to straighten teeth: self-ligating braces (a type of bracket) and clear aligners (like Invisalign). It looks at how well each works to fix moderate crowding.
This study compares clear aligners (removable trays) to traditional braces for treating crowded lower front teeth. It aims to see which method works better and is more comfortable for patients.
