Mini implants battle overbite: which placement wins?
NCT ID NCT07405905
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two different spots to place mini implants in the jaw to help pull front teeth back in people with an overbite. Thirty adults with Class II Division 1 malocclusion will get either implants at the cheekbone crest or between tooth roots. The goal is to see which method works better for straightening teeth and improving the smile.
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 (orthodontic anchorage devices)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that one mini-implant placement method works better for correcting overbite and improving facial profile.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. There is also a risk of implant failure or infection.
