Class III malocclusion poses a challenging dilemma for the clinician because these children have of growth patterns that differ from that of children with class I malocclusion. The mandible grows more rapidly than the maxilla, exacerbating the class III malocclusion as the child go through adolescence. Ever since Clark described a version of the twin block, it has steadily gained popularity in the management of early class III malocclusion in children. However, not many cases are reported in the literature on its use in deciduous dentition. This article tries to provide an insight into the reverse twin block appliance and reports two cases of early class III malocclusion treated using reverse twin block.
III类错颌给临床医生带来了具有挑战性的难题，因为这些儿童的生长模式与I类错颌儿童不同。下颌骨比上颌骨生长得更快，随着儿童进入青春期，III类错颌会加剧。自从克拉克描述了一种双阻板矫治器后，它在儿童早期III类错颌的治疗中逐渐受到欢迎。然而，关于其在乳牙列中的应用，文献报道的病例并不多。本文试图深入探讨反向双阻板矫治器，并报告两例使用反向双阻板治疗的早期III类错颌病例。
