Abstract

This case report describes the treatment of a 22-year-old girl who had incompetent lips with severe bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion. The treatment of choice for such patients is usually extraction of four ?rst premolars and retraction of the anterior teeth. To maintain the extraction space, maximum anchorage is required. Mini-implants were used to provide maximum anchorage for obtaining a good facial pro?le.
This case report describes the treatment of a 22-year-old girl who presented with incompetent lips with severe bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion. The treatment of choice for such patients is usually extraction of all four first premolars and complete utilization of extraction space for retraction of the anterior teeth. In order to complete utilize the extraction space to retract the anterior segment, absolute anchorage is required. Mini-implants were used to provide absolute anchorage to improve the patient’s facial profile.
