Yassaei S, Jamilian A, Joshan N. Effects of Twin-Block and Faramand-LL appliances on soft tissue profile in the treatment of Class II division 1 malocclusion. Int J Orthod Milwaukee. 2014, Winter; 25(4): 57-62.
Abstract
Individuals with class II division I malocclusion suffer from increased over jet and unpleasant facial profile which induce poor self-image and low self-esteem. Mechanisms of different orthopedic appliances correcting class II malocclusion are investigated in numerous studies. Most of these researches focused on only the dentofacial changes and ignored the alterations of soft tissue profile. Evaluation of soft tissue alterations in patients treated with Faramand-II and Tween-Block appliances were the purposes of this study.
