ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating a new treatment option for children and adolescents with a specific type of dental misalignment called Skeletal Class II malocclusion, where the lower jaw is positioned further back than the upper jaw. The trial will compare the effects of a modified twin-block appliance that uses clear plates to traditional fixed braces. Researchers want to see how well this new device works in changing the shape of the jaw and teeth, as well as any effects on the surrounding soft tissues.

To participate in this study, children aged 10.5 to 13 years who have not had any previous orthodontic treatment and meet specific dental criteria related to their jaw alignment may be eligible. Participants must be willing to wear a removable appliance and must not have any other major dental or health issues. Throughout the study, participants will receive the new treatment and will be monitored to assess how their dental and facial structure changes over time. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it aims to provide valuable insights into new approaches for correcting jaw alignment issues in young patients.
