Abstract

Two case reports illustrate the effective treatment of Class II division 2 malocclusion with modifications to the Twin Block appliance. This approach may reduce the total treatment time and reduce the need for extra-oral anchorage. In each of the cases presented treatment has been carried out on a non-extraction basis with full correction of the malocclusion.

Key words: Class II division 2 malocclusion, Class II skeletal base, Functional appliance, Modified Twin Blocks
