“…In the present study, we observed improvement in facial pro ile, increased lower lip length, and increased lower lip prominence with the Twin Block appliance. Similar results were observed by the above authors (Murarka et al, 2020;John et al, 2019) for the group receiving the treatment with Twin Block appliance.…”

The present study was undertaken to evaluate and compare the skeletal, dental, and soft tissue changes in skeletal Class II division 1 cases treated with Twin Block and Clear Block appliances using a cephalogram. A total of 40 patients of age between 12-14 years were randomly divided into two equal groups. Group 1: treated with Twin Block appliance and Group 2: treated with Clear Block appliance. The pre-treatment lateral cephalogram was taken and skeletal, dental, and soft tissue parameters were evaluated and the appliance was delivered. After 8 months, another lateral cephalogram of all the cases was taken and analyzed. The pre and post-treatment values were compared between the two groups. The pre-treatment cases were almost comparable in skeletal, dental, and soft tissue features in both groups. There was a significant change in mandibular growth by SNB angle. The retrusion and extrusion of maxillary incisors as well as a proclination and extrusion of mandibular incisors were seen in group 1 while no change was observed in group 2. Treatment with Clear Block appliances has shown significant and favorable Skeletal, Dental and Soft tissue changes which are similar to already proven by the Twin Block appliance. Clear Block provides an esthetic and less bulky option for growth modification with similar results as compared to conventional Twin Block with the additional benefit of preventing lower incisor proclination.

“…Therefore, universal usage of the Bolton analysis and the recommended range for a balanced dentition are under conversation and might not be justified to remaining populations. Few of the related studies were reviewed [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

Background: Appealing profile is dependent on constructive interrelation of craniofacial structure so as to establish systemic equilibrium . An esthetic profile may also be associated with single tooth or inter-arch malocclusion. To correct these malocclusions, the corresponding link of tooth material of upper and lower arch is the prerequisite to achieve functional stability of occlusion, structural balance and esthetic harmony. Objectives: To determine tooth size ratios for maxillary and mandibular dentition in Central Indian population. Methodology: The study sample comprised of 500 subjects (250 males and 250 females) aged between 12-20 years with all permanent first molar erupted will be obtained from the department. The mesio–distal width of all teeth anterior to first molar of maxillary and mandibular teeth from right to left side will be calculated Expected Results: Proof of sexual dimorphism was seen among Indian male subjects have greater mean values as compared to females. Statistically considerable differences were establish between Indian samples and Bolton Caucasian standards. Conclusion: The research presents, evidence that size of teeth are population specific. Mean values specific to peculiar population samples should be obtained in order to make treatment regime more precise as well as predictable.

“…There are many reasons for this to happen, but usually it's the lack of space which can happen because of mesial drift of the posterior teeth or the inherent discrepancy between arch length and tooth size. 1 If the displacement is due to the mesialization of the posteriors, due to the early exfoliation of the deciduous molars, then the treatment of choice would be distalization. But if it's due to arch length and tooth size discrepancy, then there is no other choice but to extract.…”

The incidence of ectopically erupting canine is quite common, reasons are multifactorial, but usually it's the lack of space which happens due to mesial drift of the posterior teeth or the inherent discrepancy between arch length and tooth size discrepancy. If it's the former, distalization is one of the Go-to treatment modality one can opt for provided the nose and lip relation is optimum and does not warrant for extraction. If it's the latter then extraction remains the only choice. This case report discusses an innovative way of aligning a highly placed canine without taxing the anchorage in all 3 planes with help of Skeletal anchorage and Loop mechanics while also correcting the inclinations and gummy smile without hindering nose-lip relation to a certain extent and also tackling the common problem of anatomically short upper lip.
