Comparing two ways to pull back upper canine teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two methods for moving your upper canine teeth back after having upper premolars removed, as part of braces treatment. It aims to find which method works better for people with crowded teeth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 16 and 25 years old.
- You need braces and have had both upper first premolars removed (or will need them removed).
- Your upper canine teeth and second molars are fully grown in.
- You have good overall health and good oral hygiene.
- You have not had braces before, have not had any permanent teeth removed before, and have a generally healthy mouth.

This study compares two methods used in braces to pull your upper canine teeth (the pointy teeth next to your front teeth) back after premolars are removed. It uses special 3D X-rays to see how these methods affect the roots and the bone around your teeth.
This study compares two ways of retracting the canine teeth after premolar removal to see which works faster or better. It may help us improve orthodontic treatment for people who need their upper canines pulled back.
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 ways of moving a canine tooth into the space left by a removed premolar. One method uses a small surgical procedure to help the tooth move faster, and the researchers will check if this causes more stress on the tooth root compared to the standard method.
This trial compares two methods (sliding jigs vs retraction hooks) to move your upper teeth backward using small screws placed in your jawbone. It may help if you have a mild overbite or crowded upper teeth and want to avoid removing teeth.
This study tests two types of orthodontic wires to see which one more effectively moves your upper canine teeth backward when you're already wearing fixed braces. The goal is to find the best method for straightening your bite with minimal side effects.
