Abstract
|
|
|
|
The treatment of skeletal Class II growing patient is to move the mandible into the Class I molar positon via facilitating mandibular growth. The functional appliances are to be designed to exert three major functions such as palatal expansion, forward growth of mandible and increase of the posterior vertical dimension. One of the devices that can achieve both the palatal expansion and the eruption of the mandibular molar is the Twin-Block introduced by Clark in 1982. In this part, we present the treatment method with Twin-Block functional appliance for the correction of skeletal Class II growing patient.
