Class II Malocclusion Treatment Using Combined Twin Block and Fixed Orthodontic Appliances: A Case Series

The effect of the Twin Block functional orthodontic appliances is mostly dento-alveolar with small skeletal effect. There are certain clinical indications where functional appliances can be used successfully in class II malocclusion, e.g., in a growing patient. The use of these appliances is greatly...

description The effect of the Twin Block functional orthodontic appliances is mostly dento-alveolar with small skeletal effect. There are certain clinical indications where functional appliances can be used successfully in class II malocclusion, e.g., in a growing patient. The use of these appliances is greatly dependent on the patient’s compliance, and they simplify the fixed appliance phase. The use of functional jaw orthopedics, at the correct time during growth, can ultimately result in achieving a broad beautiful smile, an excellent functional occlusion, a full face with a beautiful jaw line and lateral profile. Here the cases were treated with Twin Block appliance followed by fixed appliance to detail the occlusion. The design and treatment effects were demonstrated in these case reports.
