NCT ID NCT07292636
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two dental devices—the Twin Block and the Carriere Motion Appliance—for correcting Class II malocclusion (overbite) in teens aged 14.5 to 16. It will measure how well each device moves the teeth and jaw, and how treatment affects daily life and comfort. The goal is to help orthodontists choose the most effective and tolerable option for older adolescents.
