Abstract

Bimaxillary protrusion has long been treated with the conventional approach of extraction of first premolars in both the upper and lower arches. But sometimes the patients refuse to undergo the extractions. And also in theborderline cases, theextractions can lead tothe dished-in profile of the patient. In all thesecases, distalization of the entire arch with the help of mini-screw implants can be a treatment alternative. Distalization of theupper or/and lower arch can also be used in class I and class III patients. The following are the two case reports showing distalization of the upper and lower arches with thehelp of mini-screw implants in the class I Bimaxillary protrusion patients.
