Abstract

BACKGROUND: Analyzing the morphological growth changes upon mandibular advancement between Twin Block (TB) and Functional Regulator II (FR2) in Class II patients involves measuring the condylar and mandibular changes in terms of linear and volumetric measurements, as well as the distances registered after superimposition. Correspondingly, 3D digital assessment with the benefit of artificial intelligence tools was applied, and color-coded distance maps were descriptively interpreted to visualize the direction of growth.
