Upper jaw repositioning with small screws for overbite
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a way to move your upper teeth and jaw backward using tiny screws placed in your cheekbone area, which may help correct an overbite without needing to remove teeth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 15 and 30 years old.
- Your treatment plan should not involve removing any permanent teeth (except possibly wisdom teeth).
- You have an overbite (Class II bite) where the upper teeth stick out past the lower teeth.
- You should be in good general health without any syndromes or long-term illnesses.
- You have not had braces or other orthodontic treatment before.
- You maintain good oral hygiene (clean teeth and gums).

This study compares two ways to move the upper back molars backward to fix an overbite where the upper teeth stick out too far. One method uses clear aligners, the other uses tiny temporary screws in the jawbone.
This study tests two ways of placing small temporary anchors (mini implants) in the jaw to help pull upper front teeth back into a better position. It is for patients who have finished growing and have a Class II overbite, to see which anchor location works best.
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 a treatment to help children with a small upper jaw (which causes an underbite) by guiding the upper jaw to grow forward. The goal is to improve bite alignment and reduce the need for surgery later in life.
This study compares two sizes of tiny screws (called miniscrews) that are sometimes used with braces to help move teeth. The screws are placed in the upper jaw to help correct an overbite where the top teeth stick out too far. The study looks at how well the screws work, how stable they are, and how they feel to patients.
This study tests how well tiny screws placed in your upper cheek area work to support braces and move teeth into the right position. It is for adults aged 19 to 35 who need fixed braces on their upper teeth and have not had braces before.
