Managing Class II Malocclusion Using Twin Block Therapy in a Young Adolescent male: A Case report

Abstract

Patients with untapped development potential benefit greatly from twin block therapy. However, a variety of patient-related characteristics, including age, gender, patient compliance, and other arbitrary criteria, complicate its effective application. Orthopaedics and growth modification can use the right forces to repair the malocclusion if given the proper care in a timely manner. When a patient has a retruded mandible and is presenting with a positive visual treatment objective, the appliance is quite effective. In this work, a successful skeletal alteration is described in the instance of a male patient, age 11, who had the typical twin block appliance indication.
