Comparison of the Skeletal and Dento-Alveolar Changes Obtained with a Customized Elastodontic Appliance and Twin Block: A Prospective Investigation
Both appliances effectively corrected Class II malocclusions. However, the customized elastodontic device provided better dentoalveolar control, particularly in managing anterior crowding and incisor inclination. Its individualized fit may enhance biomechanical precision and improve overall treatment outcomes in growing patients.
