ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is designed to compare two types of myofunctional appliances, which are devices used to help correct a specific type of dental issue called Class II malocclusion. This condition occurs when the upper front teeth are positioned significantly further forward than the lower front teeth, affecting bite and appearance. The trial is currently recruiting participants, specifically growing children aged between 2 and 12 years old who have this dental problem and have not received any previous orthodontic or orthopedic treatments.
To participate in this study, children must have a Class II division 1 malocclusion and be in a growth phase, meaning they are still developing. However, children with certain health issues, congenital malformations like cleft lip and palate, facial deformities, or those who suck their fingers will not be eligible. Participants can expect to receive one of the two types of appliances and will have their progress monitored throughout the study to determine which appliance is more effective. This research aims to improve treatment options for children with this common dental condition.
