Can a simple brace fix your bite for good?
NCT ID NCT07752498
First seen Aug 07, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether the bite correction from a Twin Block appliance—a removable brace used to fix overbites—stays put over time. Researchers will compare dental records from before, right after, and years after treatment in 72 people who previously wore the appliance. They want to see if the bite relapses and how many people needed extra treatment with fixed braces.
