A randomized clinical trial is set out to compare the effectiveness of two types of functional appliances in the correction of a Class II malocclusion. (Class II malocclusions are where upper front teeth bite significantly further forward in relation to lower front teeth).
It is a multicenter randomized clinical trial with two arms parallel group. The patients will be randomly divided into two groups, group one: Myobrace appliance will be used while, and group two Twin-block appliances will be used. Cephalometric x-ray will be taken before starting the treatment (T1) and at the end of treatment (T2) at 9 months. The effectiveness of the two appliances will be assessed and measured comparing the difference in the cephalometric X-ray before and after treatment.

RECRUITINGDentoskeletal changes
Evaluation of dentoskeletal and soft tissue changes following the treatment of growing children with myobrace and twin block appliances. Using cephalometric analysis to measure the angles including dental angles such as inter-incisal angle, in addition to skeletal angles such as SNA,SNB and ANB angles.
Time frame: T1 at the start of treatment and T2 at the end of treatment around 9 months
Soft tissue changes
2\. Soft tissue changes using cephalometric radiographs including different angular measurement such as E-line and nasolabial angle (comparing the changes in the photographs at the beginning of the treatment and at the end of the treatment.
Time frame: T1 at the start of treatment and T2 at the end of treatment around 9 months
Patient satisfaction
3.Patient satisfaction with both appliances will be investigated using a questionnaire at the end of the study (around 9 months)
Time frame: At the end of treatment (around 9 months)
