Face shape may predict how teeth shift after braces
NCT ID NCT07622277
First seen Jun 18, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how different face shapes (horizontal vs. vertical growers) affect tooth movement after braces are removed, during the retention phase when retainers are worn. Researchers will track 44 people over 12 months using 3D scans to see if teeth shift differently based on facial type. The goal is to help orthodontists better predict and prevent relapse, ensuring straighter smiles last longer.
