NCT ID NCT07297251
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how the position of your head affects the movement of your jaw joints (TMJ) in people aged 11 to 65 who are getting braces or dental reconstruction. Researchers will measure jaw and neck movement before and after a brief hands-on therapy session to see if it helps improve mobility and head alignment. The goal is to better understand the link between head posture and jaw function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
manual therapy techniques (joint distraction and lateral glide)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward simple manual therapy techniques to improve jaw mobility and head posture in dental patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational and interventional study with no control group, so results may not be widely applicable. The manual therapy effects may be temporary or not clinically significant.
