Abstract	Twin-block appliance has proven its efficiency in adolescents. William Clark has given this appliance to non-growing patients also. Here we gave the appliance to a 20-year-old male. Appliance fabrication was done with a thermoformed sheet and acrylic. With this appliance, we achieved dento-alveolar and skeletal changes in a 20-year-old male patient. Generally, twin block has disadvantages like lower incisor proclination, poor periodontal health issues, and patient hesitance to wear the appliance. In this design, we have overcome the issues mentioned above. Soft tissue profile has also improved. Total treatment for appliance therapy was 8 months.
