First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This completed study looked at 18 girls aged 9 to 12 with a type of jaw misalignment called skeletal Class II. Researchers compared two dental devices—twinblock and monoblock—to see which one better corrected the jaw and teeth position. Participants wore the device for 15 hours a day after an initial bite adjustment. The goal was to find out which appliance leads to better skeletal and dental changes.
