Objective: To evaluate the long-term outcomes of Class II treatment with the Jasper Jumper appliance and comprehensive orthodontic treatment concerning inclination of the mandibular incisors and gingival recession.
Methods: Sixteen patients with Class II malocclusion at a mean age of 12.54y (SD = 1.17) were treated with the Jasper Jumper appliance and comprehensive orthodontic treatment. The mean treatment time was 2.05y (SD = 0.21). Dental records were taken before (T1), after treatment (T2) and 11.90y (SD = 0.48) after debonding (T3). The frequency of gingival recession, clinical crown height and mandibular incisor position were evaluated using intraoral photographs, digital models and lateral cephalograms. Interphase changes were evaluated using dependent t and McNemar's tests. Correlation between clinical crown height and final position of the mandibular incisors was evaluated using Pearson correlation test (P < 0.05).
Results: The frequency of gingival recessions increased over time and was observed in 6 (9.4%), 12 (18.8%) and 24 (37.5%) of the mandibular incisors at T1, T2 and T3, respectively. A significant increase in labial inclination and protrusion of the mandibular incisors was observed between T1 and T2 interval. The clinical crown height significantly increased in the follow-up period (T3-T2) and in the complete observation time (T3-T1). There was no correlation between the amount of labial inclination and protrusion of the mandibular incisors and clinical crown height for all time intervals.
Conclusion: No significant correlation between the amount of labial movement of the mandibular incisor and clinical crown height increase was found.

Materials And Methods: 40 children were involved in this retrospective study and divided into two intervention groups: the vBHGA group and the TB group, each comprising 20 individuals with an average age of 11.13 years.
Esthetic Twin Block Approach for Correction of Developing Class II Division 1 Malocclusion of an 11-year-old Female Patient: A Case Report.

Unlabelled: An 11-year-old female patient with developing class II division 1 malocclusion having retrognathic mandible and crowding in the lower arch, horizontal growth pattern, with convex profile, hyperactive mentalis muscle, positive visual treatment objective (VTO) in cervical vertebral maturation indicator (CVMI) stage 4 was planned to be treated using modification of conventional twin block appliance. Though a wide variety of myofunctional appliances like activator, Bionator, and Frankel appliances can be delivered to the patient, twin block appliance being a mechanofunctional appliance is routinely preferred by operators due to simplicity of its design and construction in comparison to other appliances. One of the biggest challenges in management of growing patients with skeletal class II malocclusion is the compliance of patients in wearing the myofunctional appliances.

Background: A new design, the Biblock appliance, was developed for the functional treatment of Class II malocclusions.
Aim: To compare the effects of Biblock appliance (BA) and Activator appliance (AA) on the skeleton, dentoalveolar, and soft tissue in Class II malocclusions.
Methods: Thirty-five patients with mandibular retrognathia caused by skeletal Class II malocclusion and normodivergent growth pattern were included in this study.

The objective of this study was to compile the currently available evidence regarding the functional and morphologic outcomes of functional orthodontic therapy for mandibular condyle fracture. We performed searches in PubMed and Google Scholar as well as manually (IOK issues 2008-2019) using the keywords "trauma", "TMJ", "activator", "condylar fracture", "fracture", "mandibular condylar fracture", "occlusal splint" and "functional appliance". Screening and analysis of study eligibility were performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA).
