Four miniscrews were placed into the available inter-root area, two in the posterior and the other two in the anterior region in the maxilla as skeletal anchorage for facemask protraction in a girl 11 years and 11 months old with maxillary retrusion. No tooth support was used for the protraction of the maxilla. Applying orthopedic forces directly to the maxilla resulted in a 2 mm maxillary advancement. Undesired skeletal and dental effects of facemask therapy were eliminated with this new technique. Skeletodental changes in response to the miniscrew-anchored facemask treatment are reported in the present case. |
