What Are Twin Block Braces?

Twin block appliances are removable orthodontic devices that help correct malocclusions, particularly overbites. This functional appliance consists of bite blocks on the upper and lower teeth that work together to guide jaw growth in young patients.

Developed by Dr. William Clark, the twin block technique uses natural occlusal forces to correct jaw positioning. These twin block braces work by encouraging the lower jaw forward into proper alignment.

How Twin Block Braces Work

Functional Therapy Approach

Twin block appliances use functional therapy to harness natural jaw movements. When wearing the appliance, bite blocks guide the lower jaw into an improved position during eating, speaking, and swallowing.

Continuous Correction

The design of twin block appliances ensures continuous gentle pressure. Even during normal activities, the appliance encourages proper jaw development and facial symmetry.

Growth Modification

During the pubertal growth phase, twin block treatment maximizes natural development. The appliance redirects growth to correct malocclusions effectively.

Initial Assessment

Dr. Hussam conducts a clinical examination to determine if twin block treatment suits your child. This includes evaluating jaw position, tooth alignment, and growth potential.

Appliance Design

Custom twin block appliances are created based on dental impressions. The orthodontist designs bite blocks specifically for your child's malocclusion.

Fitting and Adjustment

Your orthodontist fits both upper and lower components. Initial adjustments ensure comfortable full-time wear

Monitoring Progress

Regular check-ups track jaw growth and development. Dr. Hussam adjusts the appliance as needed throughout treatment.
