NCT ID NCT06315348

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two flapless surgical techniques used alongside braces to see which better improves gum and bone changes. Forty adults with mild to moderate crowding will receive either a soft tissue graft or a bone graft during their orthodontic treatment. Researchers will measure gum contour, tooth movement speed, and patient comfort over time.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

flapless alveolar decortication with augmentation (piezocision-assisted orthodontics with soft tissue or bone grafting)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to faster, more stable orthodontic results with improved gum and bone health.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedures involve surgery and grafting, which carry risks like infection or gum recession.
