The objective of this investigation was to assess the stress and displacement pattern of the craniomandibular complex by employing finite element methodology to simulate diverse angulations of inclined planes that are incorporated in the Twin Block appliance. A 3D finite element representation was established by use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans. This comprehensive structure included craniofacial skeletal components, the articular disc, a posterior disc elastic layer, dental elements, periodontal ligaments, and a Twin Block appliance. This investigation is the first to incorporated inclined planes featuring three distinct angulations (45, 60, and 70°) as the study models. Mechanical impacts were evaluated within the glenoid fossa, tooth, condylar, and articular disc regions. In all simulations, the stress generated by the Twin Block appliance was distributed across teeth and periodontal ligament, facilitating the anterior movement of mandibular teeth and the posterior displacement of maxillary teeth. Within the temporomandibular joint region, compressive forces on the superior and posterior facets of the condyle diminished, coinciding with the stress configuration that fosters condylar and mandibular growth. Stress dispersion homogenized in the condylar anterior facet and articular disc, with considerable tensile stress in the glenoid fossa's posterior aspect conforming to stress distribution that promote fossa reconfiguration. The 70° inclined plane exerts the highest force on the tissues. The condyle's maximum and minimum principal stresses are 0.36 MPa and −0.15 MPa, respectively, while those of the glenoid fossa are 0.54 MPa and −0.23 MPa. Three angled appliances serve the purpose of advancing the mandible. A 45° inclined plane relative to the occlusal plane exerts balanced anteroposterior and vertical forces on the mandibular arch. Steeper angles yield greater horizontal forces, which may enhance forward growth and efficient repositioning. • Conducted finite element analysis on craniofacial region with Twin-block appliance and diverse inclined plane angulations. • Anterior condylar region faced compression; posterior region encountered tension. • 70° inclination increased stress and displacement, potentially promoting mandibular growth and effective repositioning.
