Tiny surgery may speed up braces: new study explores biological response
NCT ID NCT07514403
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a small surgical procedure called corticision affects the body's response when pushing lower front teeth inward during orthodontic treatment. Researchers will measure certain chemicals in the gum fluid and track how much the teeth move. The study involves 16 people aged 18-30 who need extractions and have a deep overbite.
