Twin blocks in thetreatment of class III malocclusions. Systematic review
Keywords:
Class III malocclusion, Functional orthodontic appliances, Twin blocks.Abstract
Treatment of class III malocclusions in growing patients is usually performed with intraoral or extraoral braces. The objective was to analyze the skeletal changes by treating class III malocclusions with twin blocks. A systematic review was carried out following the PRISMA 2009 version guidelines. Searches were carried out in the Pubmed, Embase, Scopus and Cochrane databases, as well as in a gray literature database, and were supplemented by hand searches. Five articles were included, of which the following variables were recorded: author, year of publication, country, and results. According to the reviewed bibliography, class III twin blocks constitute a therapeutic option that produces an improvement in facial aesthetics by modifying the maxillomandibular skeletal relationship, the anterior dental occlusion relationship, and the position of the soft tissues.
