Bonded Twinblock
A bonded twin-block works in exactly the same way as a standard twin block. However a bonded twin block is glued into the mouth and cannot be removed by the paitent. The appliance works by four plastic blocks, two on the top jaw and two on the bottom; in order for the patient to close their mouth they must push their bottom jaw forward. This increases the strength of the lower jaw and teaches the lower jaw to close in the new position. Eating is very difficult at first, but comes with time.
