Twin Block

Twin Block Treatment

The treatment process with twin blocks is relatively simple and does not require an incredible amount of maintenance. They may need periodic adjustments, and the process typically ranges anywhere from nine to 12 months. You may also experience an alteration in how you speak, but this can be easily remedied by simply practicing your speech while wearing your twin block appliance.

Besides comfort, there are several advantages to opting for twin blocks as the solution to malocclusions, such as:

• Removability: Unlike traditional braces, which are adhered to the teeth and cannot be removed, twin blocks have the advantage of being taken out to ensure more efficient oral hygiene practices.
• Less conspicuous: Twin blocks are not invisible; however, they are less conspicuous than traditional braces.

Twin blocks are best suited for younger patients. This is because younger patients are still growing, making the influence of altering the position of the jaw more easily attained. It is important to consider that for the treatment to be effective, the patient must be committed to wearing the appliance as instructed. Otherwise, treatment may be ineffective.
