Distal mandibular position treatment in adolescence: use of twin blocks

Abstract

Class II malocclusion was described by Angle, a classification based on the discrepancy in the anteroposterior direction. From the therapeutic point of view, Class II malocclusion due to mandibular retrusion has been approached with different treatments. Twin blocks are functional appliances that reposition the mandible and redirect occlusal forces. A clinical case of a young Class II patient with mandibular distoposition using Twin Blocks is developed. It will be confirmed if the principles and objectives developed by Clark are evident in our patients.
