The patient, 19 years old female, complained of protrusion of upper and lower anterior teeth. Teeth lining was good except slight crowding in lower anterior teeth. Teeth lining was good except slight crowding in lower incisors, but distocclusion in the region of right buccal segment was present. Cephalometric analysis revealed normal relation between maxilla and cranial base. The labial inclination of upper and lower anterior teeth was severe, so diagnosed as bialveolar protrusion case. She was treated by means of multibanded system under the extraction of four first bicuspids. After 1 year and 4 months. She gained good interdigitation of buccal segments and attractive facial profile because the labioversion of incisors was reduced properly.
