Twin block
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
A twin block is an orthodontic appliance.[1] Its purpose is to lengthen the lower jaw by posturing it forward. If the jaw grows during treatment, it naturally grows at a faster rate; otherwise the appliance is useless. Treatment time varies, but is generally around 9 months.[2]
