Description
Summary:	One of today’s largest global problems is malocclusion. We must prevent this through the screening and early treatment of young children, because malocclusion treatment conducted during a child’s growth and development stage either the primary or mixed dentition era yields the best outcomes. Functional appliances are usually used during initial orthodontic treatment, such as myobrace and twin block appliances. Myobraces come in various sizes. The size chosen depends on the treatment objectives, which may include correcting class II malocclusions. The twin block appliance is a functional device commonly employed to treat class II malocclusions. This investigation’s main goal was to compare the efficacy of the myobrace and twin block appliances in class II malocclusion treatment to select a more appropriate pediatric dentistry device. A total of 5 articles were selected from 306 articles based on relevant keywords. All selected studies were conducted within the last 10 years. Myobrace and twin block appliances can address overjet issues and achieve significant overjet measurement reductions. This appliance promotes mandibular growth and enhances the facial profiles of individuals with class II malocclusions. In order to treat individuals with class II malocclusions, the myobrace and the twin block both address skeletal and dentoalveolar discrepancies. But compared to the myobrace, the twin block appliance had more noteworthy outcomes.
