What this Trial Is About
The investigators aim to determine the effect of virtual appointments on compliance with Twin Block wear. Patients satisfying the inclusion criteria requiring a Twin Block appliance will be requested to participate in the study. Those selected will be allocated to either the intervention or control group. The control group will receive routine verbal instruction and a standard information leaflet at the start of their treatment. The intervention group will additionally receive virtual appointments over the initial period of treatment involving focussed discussion on twin block wear experience and use of visual aids. Wear time will be objectively recorded in both groups using a temperature-sensitive microsensor embedded in the Twin Block appliance, and occlusal changes will be measured at each standard recall visit. A comparison of the data obtained from each group will be undertaken to determine whether there is a significant difference in compliance with twin block wear between participants who receive adjunctive virtual appointments to those who do not.
