Therefore we propose to operate out of three "specialist centres" with specific units providing one modality alone Which of the three orthodontic appliances does achieve best clinical progress, produce least discomfort to the patient, minimize the time taken for completion of treatment and maximize compliance.', 'detailedDescription': 'Patients and materials: The patient population will consist of patients age 10-16 that have, or are close to having, a full permanent dentition, and present to the clinic with Class II malocclusions with more than 1/2 unit II molar relationship. (Normal or deep overbite cases are also included). The treatments to be compared are the three (routinely-used) orthodontic appliances: Twin Block, Herbst and Frog.\n\nHypothesis: The principal (null) hypothesis is that there is no difference between the three appliances in terms of their effectiveness, efficiency and compliance.\n\nStudy design: The study is designed as a multicentre, Prospective Expertise Based Matched Controlled Longitudinal Trial and the assessments will be longitudinal in time.\n\nAll patients that consent/assent to be part of the study (and their parents) will receive an information leaflet about the study and will be asked to sign an assent form. Patients are free to discontinue treatment if they wish to do so. The normal length of orthodontic treatment is between 18 and 24 months. Assessments will be taken prior to treatment and throughout the treatment period, with regular progress reviews every 3 months, as per standard practice.\n\nOutcomes: The principal outcome for efficiency is the time taken for completion of treatment. The principal outcomes for effectiveness are the clinical progress, discomfort (caused by the appliance to the patient) and compliance.\n\nClinical progress will be assessed by measuring tooth movement on each review appointment, using radiographic examination (DPT and lateral cephalograms). Each patient will record discomfort in a visual analogue scale (VAS or Likert scale)and compliance by writing the days the appliance was not in the mouth for any reason.\n\nCovariates: Socio-economic variables: age, gender, etc.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD'], 'maximumAge': '16 Years', 'minimumAge': '10 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.
