Changes in Angulation and Eruption Space of Developing Mandibular Third Molars Following Twin Block Treatment.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of twin block functional appliance three dimensionally on mandibular third molars angulation and eruption space.

Methods: This retrospective study included cone beam computer tomography (CBCTs) of 34 Class II females (11.84 ± 0.

Three-dimensional skeletal and pharyngeal airway changes following therapy with functional appliances in growing skeletal Class II malocclusion patients : A controlled clinical trial.

Introduction: To three-dimensionally analyze the skeletal and pharyngeal airway changes induced by Twin Block (TWB) and Forsus Fatigue Resistance Device (FFRD) in skeletal Class II female patients compared with untreated controls.

Materials And Methods: The study comprised 62 growing female patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion due to mandibular retrusion treated with either TWB (n = 23) or FFRD (n = 21), or neither (n = 18; controls). Pre- and posttreatment/observational cone beam computed tomography images were used to evaluate the treatment changes.

Three-dimensional skeletal, dentoalveolar and temporomandibular joint changes produced by Twin Block functional appliance.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to three-dimensionally analyze the net skeletal, dental, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) treatment changes using Twin Block functional therapy in comparison to untreated subjects.

Materials And Methods: The study (Twin Block) group comprised 22 female patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion due to mandibular retrusion. A total of 18 skeletal Class II untreated female subjects were included as controls.
