Comparing clear aligners and fixed braces for treating mild Class II malocclusion in adults

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 study evaluates the effectiveness of clear aligners with intermaxillary elastics versus traditional fixed multibracket appliances in treating adult patients with mild Class II division 1 malocclusion and increased overjet. Participants will be divided into two groups: one receiving clear aligners and the other receiving fixed appliances. The study will assess changes in skeletal, dental, and soft tissue as a result of each treatment method. The goal is to determine which approach yields better outcomes for patients.
