Nov 25, 2023 · Bimaxillary protrusion can be treated orthodontically or by a combination of orthodontics with segmental orthognathic surgery. The traditional orthodontic approach to this skeletal trait is often via extractions of all four first premolars to reduce the anterior proclination.
Nov 3, 2022 · Bimaxillary protrusion can be treated orthodontically or by a combination of orthodontics with segmental orthognathic surgery. The traditional orthodontic approach to this skeletal trait is often via extractions of all four first premolars to reduce the anterior proclination.
Bimaxillary protrusion refers to a protrusive dentoalveolar position of maxillary and mandibular dental arches that produces a convex facial profile. Orthodontic treatment alone or combined with orthognathic surgery are treatments of choice.
Correction of mild bimaxillary protrusion can be achieved by full retraction of the arches in a single stage, using intra-alveolar miniscrews, which are placed in the region between first molars and second premolars.
Comprehensive treatment indications: Aesthetic concerns of protrusive incisors. Incompetent and/or protrusive lips. Excessive incisor proclination. Aesthetic concerns of the facial appearance. Associated problems requiring treatment. Difficulties with speech or function. Read more about each indication. Back to top.
