Abstract

Skeletal Class II due to mandibular retrusion is one of the major orthodontic problems. Nowadays, a great variety of non-compliance appliances are available to advance the mandible forwards. The study was carried out on 19 Class II Div 1 patients who were divided into two groups. The first group was treated using Twin Force Bite Corrector (TFBC) while the second Group was treated with Twin Force Bite Corrector with skeletal anchorage using mini-plates. Pre-treatment and 3months post-treatment cephalograms were obtained. The changes in the soft tissue profile were inspected. The results showed significant changes in soft tissue measurements after placing TFBC. In addition, there was a significant advancement in soft tissue pogonion in the second group due to the more mandibular advancement.
