Braces and tooth removal: new study measures how your bite changes
NCT ID NCT07253337
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how removing the first premolars (the teeth next to the canines) during orthodontic treatment changes the way your bite force is distributed when you move your jaw side to side. Researchers will use a digital bite analysis system to compare bite force before and after braces in 16 people aged 14 to 25. The goal is to understand if this common extraction pattern affects chewing function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help orthodontists better plan extractions to improve bite function after braces.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-stage study with only 16 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It only measures bite force, not long-term dental health.
