This study will check if artificial intelligence (AI) can reliably analyze dental X-rays for diagnosing and planning orthodontic treatment. About 55 patients with crooked teeth will have their X-rays read by both an AI system and a human expert. The goal is to see how closely the…

This study will develop artificial intelligence (AI) models to analyze facial photos, 3D scans, and CT images of the head and jaw. Researchers will include about 2,000 people who already have these images from routine dental or orthodontic care. The goal is to help doctors more a…

This study compares three types of small devices placed between teeth before braces to see which one causes the least pain, creates the best space, and affects daily life the least. About 144 people aged 12 to 25 who need braces will be randomly assigned to one of the three separ…

This study compares two ways to move back molars forward using braces: one with a special gum surgery called PAOO and one without. About 40 adults will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The goal is to see if the surgery leads to faster tooth movement, less discomfort…

This study will look at the teeth, mouth, face, and quality of life of 25 people with Mowat-Wilson syndrome, a rare genetic condition. Researchers will measure things like cavities, jaw alignment, and facial shape using photos and scans. The goal is to better understand the denta…

This study uses computer models to compare custom-made versus standard plates for fixing the upper jaw after surgery. Researchers will analyze stress on the plates and bone, as well as jaw movement, in two different surgical scenarios. The goal is to provide insights that help su…

This study looks at how lacebacks (small rubber bands used with braces) affect oral hygiene, wire problems, and pain. About 38 people getting braces will have lacebacks on one side of their mouth but not the other, so researchers can compare. Participants will keep up normal brus…
