Three mesofacial patients will be presented, with balanced facial thirds, reduced overjet and overbite, lack of passive lip sealing and mild, moderate and severe bimaxillary protrusion, respectively, treated with self-ligating brackets associated with four orthodontic miniscrews.
The acceptable goal of treatment of bimaxillary protrusion is the retraction of maxillary and mandibular incisors with a resultant decrease in soft tissue convexity. This can be achieved by both surgical and orthodontic treatment methods.
Orthodontist and oral and maxillofacial surgeons are often the main primary team involved in the management of bimaxillary protrusion.
