New procedure could cut braces time in half
NCT ID NCT07155018
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a technique called micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) to see if it can make teeth move faster during orthodontic treatment. Forty patients aged 16-25 with a specific type of misalignment had one side of their mouth treated with MOPs and the other side without. The goal was to measure how quickly the canine teeth moved and how much pain patients felt. If MOPs work, they could reduce the overall time people need to wear braces.
