3D-printed miniscrew-supported device to move upper molars backward

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a randomized, two-arm trial comparing a conventional miniscrew-supported distal-jet appliance to a newly designed 3D-printed miniscrew-supported molar distalizer for correction of bilateral Class II molar relationships and upper-arch crowding. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two devices and treated until the planned molar distalization is achieved. Lateral cephalometric radiographs and digital upper-arch models will be taken before treatment (T0) and after distalization (T1) to quantify tooth movement and anchorage effects. Device performance, measured tooth movement, and clinical outcomes will be compared between groups to see if the 3D-printed appliance provides equivalent or improved results.
