Can certain medications speed up tooth movement with braces?
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests three different treatments (MOP, prostaglandin E1, and calcitriol) to see if they can make teeth move faster during orthodontic treatment. If you're getting braces for moderate crowding, this could reduce your treatment time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 25 years old.
- You have moderate crowding in your lower front teeth (from 4 to 6 mm on a special scale).
- You are planning to get braces or aligners, and no teeth will be removed.
- Your gums are healthy, with no deep pockets or bleeding.
- You have all your lower permanent teeth (except wisdom teeth).
- You have not had braces before and you do not have any bone or kidney disease.

This study compares two ways to help your upper canine teeth move faster into place after premolar extractions: tiny holes in the bone or special light therapy. It aims to shorten your braces treatment time.
This study tests whether a special gel made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) can speed up tooth movement after a premolar extraction. You would be wearing braces, and one side of your mouth gets the gel while the other side is the control, so we can see if it works.
This study tests if a small gum surgery (alveolar decortication) plus a natural growth factor injection (CGF) can speed up tooth movement in people who need braces and have two teeth removed. It may help you have a shorter treatment time.
This study tests whether a special injection made from your own blood (called injectable platelet-rich fibrin) can help move your teeth faster during braces treatment. It involves removing two upper premolars and then receiving the injection to see if it speeds up straightening.
This trial tests whether a technique called tiny “micro-punctures” in the jaw bone can speed up orthodontic tooth movement in people with moderate front-lower tooth crowding. It uses clear aligners and may help teeth move faster, but only if you meet the dental and medical safety requirements.
This study tests whether using your own blood concentrate (PRP) and a special red light treatment can speed up tooth movement with clear aligners. If you're a young adult starting clear aligner therapy, this might reduce your treatment time.
