Bimaxillary Protrusion - A Case Report

Abstract: Correction of a severe bimaxillary protrusion with maximum anchorage can be challenging. This case report describes the treatment of a girl with a bimaxillary protrusion. Orthodontic treatment included extraction of her 4 first premolars. The total treatment time was 18 months. Her dental proclination and facial appearance was significantly improved.

“…Patients who were treated without extraction did not cause any changes in the dimensions of the upper airway. 23 Halwa et al stated that alteration in tongue was due to the adaptation of changing dimensions of the upper airway. 23 Upper airway dimensions increased in patients with mesial molar movement, upper airway dimensions decreased due to retraction of anterior teeth, and upper airway dimensions did not change if the teeth were stable during treatment.…”

“…23 Halwa et al stated that alteration in tongue was due to the adaptation of changing dimensions of the upper airway. 23 Upper airway dimensions increased in patients with mesial molar movement, upper airway dimensions decreased due to retraction of anterior teeth, and upper airway dimensions did not change if the teeth were stable during treatment. The results of studies that were not significant on orthodontic treatment without extraction or with extraction of the alteration in upper airway were limited to the anatomy of the upper airway, and therefore further research is needed on respiratory function, especially on the functional of neuromuscular complex associated with OSA with a larger sample.…”

“…Bimaxillary dental protrusion or bimaxillary protrusion is a condition where the anterior teeth of the maxilla and mandible are protruded relative to the maxilla and mandible basal bones. [1][2][3] The characteristics seen are an incompetent lip in a resting position, an excessive effort to close the lips completely, thus creating lip strain and prominent lips. [1][2][3] Bimaxillary dental protrusion is affected by race and ethnicity.…”

“…1 Because of the negative perception of protrusive dentition and lips in most cultures, many patients with bimaxillary protrusion seek orthodontic care to decrease this protrusion. 2 The etiology of bimaxillary protrusion is multifactorial involving genetic and environmental. The environmental factors include mouth breathing, tongue thrusting habit, and tongue volume.…”
