This document provides an overview of twin block therapy. It discusses the history, philosophy, design, construction, and stages of treatment using twin blocks. Twin blocks are functional appliances composed of separate upper and lower bite blocks. They are worn 24 hours a day to achieve rapid correction of malocclusions through forces transmitted to inclined planes covering the posterior teeth. Treatment typically involves an initial active phase followed by a support phase to stabilize results. Read less. AI-enhanced description.

Functional appliances by altering the position of the teeth and supporting tissues, establish a new and more optimal functional behavioral pattern which leads to adaptive changes in the bone form and helps the dentofacial complex achieve, its optimal genetic growth potential. Twin block appliances are simple bite blocks designed for full time wear that achieve rapid functional correction of malocclusion by the transmission of favourable occlusal forces to occlusal inclined planes that cover the posterior teeth. The goal in developing the twin block technique was to maximize the growth response to functional mandibular protrusion by using an appliance that is simple, comfortable and esthetically acceptable to the patient. Occlusal inclined plane :-According to Clarks the occlusal inclined planes were the fundamental functional mechanism for the natural dentition. And the inclined planes play an important role in determining relationship of the teeth as they erupt. If the mandible inclined planes are in a distal relation to that of maxilla then the force acting on the mandibular teeth will have a distal force vector leading to a class II growth tendency. The aim of the inclined planes of the bite blocks in twin block is to modify these inclined planes and cause more favorable growth pattern. Hence the unfavorable cuspal contacts of the distal occlusion are replaced by favorable proprioceptive contacts on the inclined planes to correct the malocclusion and free the mandible from its locked distal position. Use of masticatory force :- one major advantage in twin blocks was that it could be worn 24 hours, hence the masticatory forced can be transmitted via the appliance to the dentition from where they are transmitted to the bony trabaculae according to wolfs law, influencing the rate of growth and the trabaculae structure of the supporting bone. Treatment :- The tooth was re-implanted but due to class II; lower lip was trapped lingual to the luxated tooth causing mobility and root resorption to prevent this the appliance with a Occlusal plane which could place the mandible forward into a edge to edge bite was made later a fixed treatment was done. Later the re-implanted tooth was crowned and a stable result was obtained at age of 25 years. Twin Blocks have many advantages compared to other functional appliances:. Patients wear Twin Blocks 24 hours per day and can eat comfortably with the appliances in place. Twin Blocks can be designed with no visible anterior wires without losing any efficiency for correction of arch relationships. The occlusal inclined plane is the most 14 natural of all the functional mechanisms.

Usually takes 4 to 6 months and is continued for additional 3 to 6 months to allow the reorientation of the muscular complex.
