Bite by bite: jaw differences in vietnamese teens could sharpen orthodontic care
NCT ID NCT07696494
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how the shape of the jaw and dental arches differs among teenagers aged 15 to 18 with three common types of misaligned bites (Class I, II, and III). Researchers in Vietnam used X-rays and 3D scans to measure facial bones, teeth, and soft tissues. The goal is to help orthodontists better understand these differences so they can plan more personalized treatments for adolescents.

Who is studied
The study population consisted of 300 orthodontic patients aged 15-18 years who attended the Faculty of Odonto-Stomatology, Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vietnam.

All participants had complete lateral cephalometric radiographs and three-dimensional intraoral scans and had not received previous orthodontic treatment.
