Clinical Trial Summary

To compare dentoskeletal changes in patients with skeletal class II malocclusion induced due to treatment with orthodontic appliances; removable twin block appliance and fixed AdvanSync2 appliance in two different age group patients.


Clinical Trial Description

41% of total orthodontic cases in Pakistani population are of class II malocclusion. Class II malocclusion is referred as maxillary protrusion, or mandibular retrusion, or combination of both, which can be corrected by treating the skeletal and dento-alveolar discrepancies. Out of many recommended treatment options, one can make use of either removable and/or fixed functional appliances. In the past, headgear has been used as a classic appliance for the correction of class II malocclusion. Other removable functional appliances (RFA) include Frankel, bionator and sander bite jumping appliances. Jasper jumper, Herbst appliance and mandibular protraction appliance (MPA) are the some of the fixed functional appliances (FFA) used. All these modalities are designed to modify the arches by re-orienting their position in both sagittal and vertical dimensions to bring about correction of main features of class II malocclusion. AdvanSync2 (Ormco Co., Glendora, Calif) is a FFA being introduced recently as an advancement of Herbst appliance. It is a molar-to-molar appliance, connected by a telescopic rod, which allow for simultaneous treatment with braces. It is much smaller in size than the conventional Herbst appliance and reduces treatment duration up to six to nine months. It is much more acceptable by the patients as they complain less about sores and discomfort, and is esthetically pleasant since it's not visible in the mouth. Short arms of this appliance help to decrease irritation and discomfort of the patient, and helps to advance the mandible in a constant forward direction to encourage growth, and reduce malocclusion. Twin block appliance (RFA) was introduced by William Clark in 1988. Many modifications for this appliance have been introduced lately. It has been named twin block for the characteristic of two unattached maxillary and mandibular plates with acrylic bite blocks, which makes 70o angle when come in contact with each other. This appliance is another treatment modality for cases with class II malocclusions, which can be carried out at an early age as well as the delayed treatment. However, delayed treatment was found to be much better for the patients in terms of less orthodontic visits. AdvanSync2 appliance is a new treatment modality in orthodontics, and through thorough literature search, no study could be found in regard to this appliance in Pakistani population yet.Hence, the objective of this study was to compare dentoskeletal changes in skeletal class II malocclusion induced due to treatment with removable twin block appliance and fixed advanSync2 appliance in Pakistani population. ;
