TWIN BLOCK THERAPY IN PEDIATRIC DENTISRTY

Twin block therapy is a specialized orthodontic treatment for children with misaligned jaws known as Class II malocclusions. Custom-made removable appliances each consisting of upper and lower blocks guide jaw growth into proper alignment. By strategically positioning the blocks the therapy encourages the lower jaw to move forward while guiding the upper jaw backward resulting in improved bite function and aesthetics. Twin block therapy offers a non-invasive and comfortable alternative to traditional braces for pediatric patients which can also be modified in numerous ways along with habit breaking inclusions according to the existing conditions.
