About

A randomized clinical trial is set out to compare the effectiveness of two types of functional appliances in the correction of a Class II malocclusion. (Class II malocclusions are where upper front teeth bite significantly further forward in relation to lower front teeth).

Full description

It is a multicenter randomized clinical trial with two arms parallel group. The patients will be randomly divided into two groups, group one: Myobrace appliance will be used while, and group two Twin-block appliances will be used. Cephalometric x-ray will be taken before starting the treatment (T1) and at the end of treatment (T2) at 9 months. The effectiveness of the two appliances will be assessed and measured comparing the difference in the cephalometric X-ray before and after treatment.
