With the purpose of evaluating the effects of the modified W. Clark's twin blocks, we carried out a prospective, descriptive study in 8-9 years-old children, with anterior open bite and molar distocclusion. Simultaneous movements took place at the dentoalveolar level, which allowed closing bite, corrected the protrusion and led to the molars neutrocclusion, all of these with the correspondent changes in the facial view and the dimensions of the upper and lower breathing tracks. Important differences were verified in the upper incisive and interincisal angles, and also in the lineal measures of overbite, lower dental position and pharyngeal diameters.Downloads
