Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the change of occlusal and cephalometrics analysis in patients before and after treated with Twicare appliances. Subjects were 34 growing patients with class II malocclusion and mandibular retrusion. Methods: clinical trial study, comparing before and after using appliance. Results: SNB increased by 1.88 ± 1.2; ANB increased by 1.47 ± 1.35 and Wits decreased by 2.24±1.59; statistically significant differences of overjet and overbite between before and after treatment were found. Conclusion: Twicare appliance is effective in moving mandibular forward and decreasing overjet and overbite.
