Key Points

Dental occlusion is significantly improved with functional therapy, enhancing skeletal and airway development.
The mean improvement observed in occlusion aligns with both pre-pubertal and pubertal treatment phases.
Observational analysis of Class II malocclusion subjects treated with the Twin Block evaluated skeletal and airway adaptations.
Findings suggest that functional therapy may yield comparable results in different growth stages, indicating treatment flexibility.

Implication

Observational analysis shows improvements in dental occlusion with functional therapy in Class II malocclusion, suggesting effective airway development across growth stages.

Abstract

The Twin Block effectively improved mandibular position and dental occlusion, positively contributing to upper airway development with comparable effects in the two growth stages.
