Active substance
Lip bumper appliance
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that a lip bumper speeds up natural tooth movement after extractions, reducing the need for braces.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 44 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The lip bumper might also make oral hygiene harder.
