"Sliding Jigs vs Retraction Hooks for Maxillary Dentition Distalization Using IZC Miniscrews"
Yemen40 participantsStarted 2026-02-11
Plain-language summary
This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the clinical efficacy, efficiency, and biomechanical differences between two methods for total maxillary dentition distalization: (1) the use of a Sliding Jig and (2) the use of Retraction Hooks, both anchored by Infrazygomatic Crest (IZC) miniscrews. The study will assess rates of distalization, anchorage loss, dentoalveolar tipping, patient comfort, and treatment-associated side effects.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* The inclusion criteria will be the following: Adult patients with class II malocclusion (\>14 years), present of all permanent teeth fully erupted, Bilateral Class II molar relationship skeletal malocclusion, moderate maxillary arch crowding (less than 5 mm) with maxillary protrusion, absence of craniofacial syndrome. and, except third molars
Exclusion Criteria:
* The subjects having the following conditions will be excluded from the study (1) Patients with transverse dental or skeletal discrepancies. (2) Patients indicated for extraction treatment (except for third molars) or unilateral distalisation treatment (3) Patients with Vertical growth pattern, (4) Patients having periodontal disease, (5) Patients with previous orthodontic treatment.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Rate of Molar Distalization.
Timeframe: From baseline (start of distalization) to the completion of distalization (an average of 5 months).
2
Rate of maxillary first molar distalization
Timeframe: From baseline (start of active distalization forces) to the completion of planned distalization (target: 4-6 mm) or at 6 months, whichever comes first.*
