Twin block functional appliance

A functional appliance that will help straighten your teeth and encourage your jaws to grow by working on the upper and lower teeth at the same time.

Twin block Performance

A functional appliance is a removable brace that works on the upper and lower teeth at the same time. There are a number of functional appliances that can be used. We mainly use the Twin Block appliance. Twin Block appliances are used in the growth phase to treat an underdeveloped lower jaw. How do functional appliances work? When you bite, the Block fits together in a certain way that encourages your jaws to grow into the correct biting position (it is mainly used in growing patients). It is one of the fastest and most effective methods to correct receding jaws, goofy teeth or excess overjet.

Treatment period

Treatment time varies, but is generally around 9 months. Twin Blocks can also be used to cure an overbite, which can mean treatment may be slightly longer. If this is the case, treatment can vary from 6 to 11 months.[ Most of the work with this brace is usually completed in about 9 – 12 months. You may then have to wear the brace at nights for a while or you may progress to a second phase of treatment with a different type of brace. The Twin Block is designed so that each time you bite, swallow or talk, the appliance is activated. These actions exert gentle pressure on the teeth and dental arches while still giving stability to the jaw joints. With time, the lower jaw is permanently positioned forward and the bite is corrected.
