Objective: Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) enhance the efficiency of fixed functional appliances (FFAs) by providing stable anchorage, improving skeletal and dental corrections, optimizing vertical control, and enhancing treatment outcomes for Class II and III malocclusions. TADs also help prevent the proclination of the lower incisors and the distalization of the molars, which are commonly observed with FFAs lacking skeletal anchorage. This study aims to analyze the displacement and stress distribution patterns generated in craniofacial structures and dentition using conjoined implants and intermaxillary elastics for growth modification in growing Class II patients.
