Abstract

Objective: to analyze clinical features and Cephalometrics analysis of class II malocclusion in growing patients treated by Twicare appliance. Method: a cross-sectional descriptive study. Results: nasolabial angle lower than normal analysis 41.2%; deepbite 70.59%; both sides class II dental 82,4%; large overjet and overbite (7.32±2.14 và 4.32±1.89); normal maxillary (SNA = 83.06±2.84°) and mandibular retrognathia (SNB = 76.29±2.64°). Conclusion: Clinical and radiographic characteristics showed that patients with class II malocclusion treated by Twicare functional appliance have large overjet and overbite, and normal maxillary and mandibular retrusion.
