Patients achieved similar clinical and psychological outcomes irrespective of whether they started their twin block at the age of referral (ITG) or 18 months later (LTG). This suggests that boys aged 12 years 8 months and girls aged 11 years 8 months, on average, are not disadvantaged by waiting 18 months for active twin block treatment.
