Evaluation of the Skeletal and Dentoalveolar Effects of Mini-implant-supported Twin-Block in Treating Growing Patients With Class II Division 1 Malocclusion: A Two-arm Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Mini-implant-supported Twin-Block and Twin-Block for Orthodontic Appliance Complication and Malocclusion, Angle Class II, Division 1. Completed, enrolled 41 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Correcting the skeletal class II using functional appliances, whether removable or fixed, always leads to skeletal and alveolar effects. However, some of these effects are unfavorable, the most significant being the loss of support in the lower dental arch. This loss of support leads to an uncontrolled labial inclination of the lower incisors and mesial movement of the lower; these dentoalveolar effects impact the degree of skeletal correction that can be achieved. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the skeletal and dentoalveolar effects following the use of a mini-implant-supported Twin-Block appliance compared to the conventional Twin-Block.

Interventions
Mini-implants will support the Twin-Block appliance during the functional treatment.
This is the main appliance that will be used to correct the Class II deformity.
