Abstract
ABSTRACT
Bi-maxillary protrusion is a condition with protrusive and proclined upper and
lower incisors and the patient is not able to close lips without strain. The presented
case reported with the chief complaint of forwardly placed teeth, with skeletal
class II malocclusion, and Angle’s class I malocclusion with protrusive and forwardly
placed upper and lower incisors. The treatment was performed with the extraction
of all first premolars and retraction under absolute anchorage. The retraction of
upper and lower lips of about 3 mm and 3.5 mm was achieved respectively and the
patient was able to close lips without strain. With proper anchorage preparation,
bi-maxillary protrusion can be successfully managed orthodontically.
