NCT ID NCT07515937

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026

Summary

This study tests a custom 3D-printed plastic splint to fix broken jaws in children aged 6 to 12. The splint is designed from a child's own teeth to hold the jaw in place without surgery. Ten children will be treated, and doctors will check how well their bite heals and if pain and mouth opening improve.
