Management of a growing skeletal Class II malocclusion patient with a series of Twin Block appliances
Abstract
Class II division 1 malocclusions are seen in 24-49% of orthodontic patients [1]. Among removable plastic functional appliances for Class II malocclusion correction in growing patients, the Twin Block has recently become the most popular and commonly utilized. A clinical case report was used to investigate the effi cacy of consistent usage of Twin Block appliances in treating skeletal Class II division 1 malocclusion with severe overjet in growing patients. This case report describes a 13-year-old growing child with skeletal Class II division 1 malocclusion and a 10.4-mm overjet.
The recommended strategy, which entailed the regular use of Twin Block appliances, yielded positive results. The orthodontic treatment lasted 29 months. At the end of treatment, a Class I molar connection was attained.
