Treatment of a Class I malocclusion with severe bimaxillary protrusion –A case report

Dr Sriram Kirti Ranjan Bhuyan, Dr Vikesh Kumar Agrawal

Abstract :

This case report describes the treatment of a 20–year–old girl from Karnatala who had severe bimaxillary dentolveolar protrusion. The main issue in determining the appropriate treatment plan was the severity of the dentoalveolar protrusion. Four first premolars were extracted to reduce lip procumbancy. The change in the patient�s facial esthetics was dramatic. Significant retraction of the upper and lower lips was achieved, and lip eversion and dentoalveolar protrusion were significantly improved. As the lips were retracted, mentalis strain was reduced; this improved chin projection.
