3D-Printed dental device could straighten teeth faster and with less pain
NCT ID NCT07191158
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This trial tests a new 3D-printed device designed to move back molars to correct a type of misaligned bite called Class II malocclusion. It involves 28 people who will either get the new 3D-printed device or a standard one. The goal is to see if the new device moves teeth more efficiently and causes less discomfort.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 3D-printed miniscrew-supported molar distalizer device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a more efficient and comfortable way to correct certain bite problems without surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early trial with only 28 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The new device may not work better than the standard one.
