Malocclusion due to protuberant upper front teeth

This study tested whether a simple arch wire stopper can control molar movement as well as mini-screws during canine retraction in 26 post-pubertal female patients with dental protrusion. The goal was to see which method better prevents unwanted tooth movement. The trial is compl…

This study tested two dental appliances—the LM-Activator and the Twin Block—in 26 children aged 8 to 13 with Class II malocclusion (overbite). Researchers measured changes in jaw position and tooth alignment using X-rays and digital models. The goal was to see if the LM-Activator…

This study tested whether using a low-level laser along with a small gum surgery (called piezocision) can safely speed up moving front teeth back in people with overbite. 66 healthy patients aged 17-28 were split into three groups: laser plus surgery, surgery alone, or standard b…

This study tested whether low level laser therapy (LLLT) can reduce pain, speed up tooth movement, and improve gum health in people getting braces. 108 Pakistani patients aged 18-30 received either standard braces or braces plus laser treatment on their front teeth every three we…

This pilot study tested a new type of archwire designed to help move the upper front teeth backward as a group. Six adults with a specific type of overbite received the wire along with small screws and springs. The main goal was to see how fast the teeth moved and whether the wir…

This study looked at two ways to fix a type of jaw misalignment (Class II malocclusion) in 60 children aged 9 to 14. One method uses traditional Twin Block braces, and the other uses clear aligners called AngelAligner A6. The goal was to see how well each method moves the lower j…

This study looked at 20 people who needed their upper front teeth moved back after having their first premolars removed. They were split into two groups: one used a 5-mm power arm and the other a 9-mm power arm to apply force. Researchers used 3D X-rays to measure changes in bone…

This study looked at 38 adults aged 18-25 with Class II malocclusion (overbite) who needed their upper first premolars removed. Researchers compared how well round versus rectangular archwires moved the canine teeth into the gap. The goal was to see which wire shape worked better…
