Tiny holes in jaw may speed up deep bite fix, reduce root damage
NCT ID NCT07566676
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests if making small holes in the jawbone (micro-osteoperforations) helps move front teeth more safely and effectively in people with a deep bite. 18 participants aged 15-25 will receive standard braces with or without the extra procedure. The goal is to see if it reduces root damage and improves tooth movement.
