What is a Twin Block Appliance?

The Twin Block appliance is a removable functional orthodontic device designed to correct jaw discrepancies in growing children. It consists of upper and lower acrylic blocks with interlocking inclined planes that position the lower jaw forward. By wearing the appliance consistently, the jaw muscles and bones adapt, encouraging proper jaw growth and correcting bite problems naturally.
