Could a simple injection cut your braces time in half?
NCT ID NCT06302296
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether injecting a substance made from the patient's own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) into the gums can help teeth move faster during braces. Fourteen people aged 18-26 with crowded upper teeth will receive either the injection or a placebo after a tooth extraction. The goal is to see if this approach can shorten the time needed to straighten teeth.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- injectable platelet-rich fibrin (PRF)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a way to shorten orthodontic treatment time by using a natural substance made from the patient's own blood.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-stage study with only 14 participants, so results may not apply widely. Previous studies on PRF for tooth movement are limited and inconclusive.
