In this article the possibility of using the Clark appliance (Twin-block) for creating conditions for skeletal traction in case of fraction of mandibular condyle in children and teenagers is presented. The proposed method of using the double-jaw orthodontic appliance Twin-block in case of mandibular fractures with condylar displacement promotes release of traumatized condyle and mandible replacement to correct position, promotes optimal conditions for myofunctional balance, fragment consolidation and remodeling of affected temporomandibular joint.
