First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
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
If successful, this could offer a more comfortable and less visible alternative to traditional braces for correcting overbites in children.
