Abstract :

Here is a case report of a 20 year old male patient who reported with chief complaint of irregular teeth and un-esthetic smile. Patient was diagnosed with hypodivergent face pattern, retroclined upper incisors and anterior deep bite. Molars were in End-on relationship. Treatment was planned using passive self-ligation (Damon system) and enmasse arch distalization using Infra-zygomatic bone screws. Treatment result showed marked improvement in facial esthetics and occlusion by incorporating predictable biomechanics.
