Abstract

Introduction: Maxillary and mandibular dentition distalization using orthodontic mini-screws has been described in the literature as a treatment for bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion. Objective: To show the management, treatment, and results of a moderate dentoalveolar biprotrusion patient by maxillary and mandibular distalization with mini-screws. Case presentation: Orthodontic treatment was performed with passive self-ligating braces and distalization with mini-screws placed on the infrazygomatic crest and mandibular shelf on both sides. Maxillary and mandibular incisors were buccally inclined. Overbite and crowding correction were observed. There was a retrusion of the upper and lower lip. Conclusion: Distalization with mini-screws for moderate dentoalveolar biprotrusion is an adequate treatment alternative avoiding premolar extraction, and obtaining favorable, functional, and aesthetic results.
