| Summary: | This case report describes the treatment of a 22-year-old girl who had incompetent lips with severe bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion.

Mini-implants were used to provide maximum anchorage for obtaining a good facial profile. Keywords: Mini-implants, Dentoalveolar, Protrusion, En masse, Anchorage, Spider Screws |
