Abstract

10years and 8 months old patient, who had been wearing Milwaukee brace for 5 months, was treated by multibanded system without extract on. She complianed severe protrusion and interdental spacing of upper anterior teeth. Cephalometric analysis revealed short anterior facial height, infraclusion of the lower first molars and severe profrusion of upper and lower anterior teeth. During orthodontic treatment Milwaukee brace was replaced by TLSO, so the orthopedic force on the dentofacial region was eliminated. After 2 years and 3 months, she gained raised bite, increased interincisal angle, salient reduction in the protrusion of upper central incisals with agreeable overjet, complete obliteration of interdental spacing and reduction of protrusion of upper and lower lips.
