This study aims to compare the impact of functional dynamic orthodontic appliances on mandibular condyle bone density in patients with Class I and Class II malocclusion during their growth and development phases. 12 patients among the ones who met the inclusion criteria were divided into 2 groups. The groups were determined as Maxillary expansion appliance group (Group A), Twinblock-Monoblock group (Group B), In the Maxillary expansion device group (Group A) and Twinblock-Monoblock (Group B) group, the value of mandibular condyle bone density decreased at the end of treatment compared to pre-treatment (p<0.05). In different malocclusion groups, some functional dynamic orthodontic appliances (maxillary expansion device and Twinblock-Monoblock) experienced an increase in bone density in the mandibular condyle, It is important to conduct orthodontic treatment by analyzing the results obtained with the use of these appliances.
