Abstract
- Here is a case report of a 20-year-old female patient with skeletal Class I malocclusion, with Angle’s Class I molar relation on the right and super Class I molar relation on the left side. The patient was diagnosed with hyperdivergent face pattern, proclined upper and lower anteriors, convex profile, potentially competent lips, short upper lip, average nasolabial angle, and anterior facial divergence. Treatment was organized by Damon System and En-masse distalization using the Infrazygomatic Crest and buccal shelf bone screws. The facial changes produced as a result of treatment were directly related to skeletal and dentoalveolar modifications that were designed as goals for patient treatment. It provided a minimal friction environment for the full-arch distalization. In this borderline bimaxillary protrusion case with a good profile, en-masse distalization turned out to be a better option than extracting the premolars and retracting incisors. It also stands out to be an example for the management of the same.
