New device shrinks jaw gaps in cleft patients, boosts graft success
NCT ID NCT07578207
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new, simple device to reduce the size of wide gaps in the jawbone (alveolar clefts) in 15 people aged 12-25 with repaired cleft lip and/or palate. The device slowly pulls the bone together before a bone graft, aiming to make the graft more successful. The study measured how much the gap shrank and checked for any unwanted tooth movement.
