Comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the use of various orthodontic appliances in the correction of malocclusion of the II class in children and adolescents

Abstract

This study is dedicated to a comparative analysis of effectiveness of using orthodontic appliances when treating class II malocclusion in children and adolescents. It was shown that treatment with the Invisalign system with a change of the lower jaw position is the most effective method for correcting class II malocclusion in growing patients. Using Invisalign aligners showed not only the best efficacy according to teleroentgenograms. but also made the treatment process comfortable for patients at all its stages. Moreover, higher level of compliance was demonstrated with treatment using the Invisalign system compared to the Twin-block appliance.
