Comparing two methods for moving canine teeth in braces
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 25 years old.
- You need to have both upper premolars removed as part of your braces treatment.
- Your bite is class I or class II (a common type of misalignment).
- You have all your permanent teeth (apart from wisdom teeth).
- You have completed the initial phase of braces before starting this tooth movement.
- You are in good general and oral health, and you don't smoke or have conditions like diabetes that affect bone healing.

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 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 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.
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 study compares two methods of moving teeth after removing upper premolars (teeth used for chewing). It aims to find which approach works better for correcting bite and alignment issues.
