Which Mini-Implant size works best? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07337538
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests two different diameters (1.6mm and 2mm) of mini-implants placed in the upper jaw to support orthodontic tooth movement. Twenty people receiving braces will get one size on each side of their mouth. Researchers will measure how stable the implants are, how much pain they cause, and how often they fail. The goal is to find out which size works better for this specific jaw area.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- mini-implants (1.6mm and 2mm diameters)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help orthodontists choose the best mini-implant size for better stability and less pain during treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The implants could still loosen or cause discomfort.
