Soft Tissue Effects of Twin Block Appliance and Face-Bow on Early Treatment of Severe Class II Division 1 Malocclusion
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Class II division 1 patients are characterized by increased horizontal overjet between maxillary and mandibular incisors, lower lip is trapped behind protruded upper incisors and unfavorable convex facial profile, thus affecting patient's self-esteem and decrease their face attractiveness.The treatment modalities of any orofacial skeletal problem can be achieved by the growth modification, dental camouflage and/ororthognathic surgery. The action of the functional appliances during growth age is rearrangement and altering the direction of muscles' force that influences the function and the position of the mandible whereas the force will be transmitted to the basal bone and dentition.In this study a sample of twelve patients who presented to Orthodontic Department clinic in faculty of dentistry, Mansoura University. All selected patients had skeletal class II division 1malocclusion due to mandibular deficiency with more than ten mm over-jet. They were treated by Twin Block functional appliance and face-bow. Treatment continued for almost a year. Facial profile better changes has occurredafter treatment.
