Correction of a severe protrusive soft tissue profile without orthognathic surgery can be challenging. This case report describes the treatment of a young woman with a severe bimaxillary protrusion. Orthodontic treatment included extraction of her 4 first premolars and total arch distalization of both arches using a palatal plate appliance. The total treatment time was 24 months. Her occlusion ...

The submento-submandibular intubation technique has been used in facial trauma cases where there is a requirement of addressing the facial fracture requiring intraoperative verification of occlusal relationship and also addressing the nasal fractures. However the utility of this technique in orthognathic surgery cases has not been reported as much. The case report presents and discusses the eff...

The aim of this retrospective study was to determine differences between the outcomes of treatment using implant anchorage compared with straight-pull headgear and intermaxillary elastics in bimaxillary protrusion patients. The lateral cephalograms of 28 adult orthodontic patients (3 males and 25 females; age, 24.9 ± 5.0 years) who had an Angle Class I malocclusion with bimaxillary protrusion w...

Background: Malocclusion is a deviation from the normal position of teeth when jaw closed. The bimaxillary protrusion most prominent or common Angle's class I malocclusions. This study aimed to determine and present prevalence disorder in ethnic Malays adolescents Medan, Indonesia.
 Methods: Descriptive observational study. A total 35 research subjects were included this An exploration dis...

Abstract Objective The objective of this study was to assess the validity IOTN-AC in assessment aesthetic impairment bimaxillary protrusion patients. Materials and methods A cross-sectional conducted involved 110 patients comprising 52 males (47.3%) 58 females (52.7%) who were accepted for fixed appliance treatment at University West Indies Dental Hospital provided consent use their records. me...

This case report intends to highlight the space closure with tear drop loop mechanics for bimaxillary protrusion. Loops can be fabricated in a sectional or full arch wire, and closing loops are usually used in loop mechanics for extraction space closure. The major advantage of loop mechanics is the lack of friction between the bracket and arch wire during space closure. An adult patient with bi...
