Overview

Retrospective study shows soft tissue improvements in class II patients using twin block or mandibular advancement, indicating effective functional therapy.

Key Points

  • Treatment with twin block or mandibular advancement improves soft tissue profiles in class II malocclusion patients.
  • Mandibular profile angle improved by 5.67° in the twin block group and 6.34° in the mandibular advancement group.
  • Cephalometric measurements show significant soft tissue pogonion advancement in the twin block group compared to controls.
  • Both treatment modalities led to significant reductions in class II convex profiles and modifications in the mandibular sulcus.
