Summary

This study compared clear mandibular advancement aligners to traditional twin-block braces for correcting Class II Division 1 malocclusion (overbite) in 21 children aged 10-16. Participants were split into three groups and followed for 6 months. The goal was to see if the aligners could improve jaw and teeth alignment while being more comfortable and less noticeable.

What this could lead to
