Anterior Vertical Control and Airway Change in Bimaxillary Protrusion Treatment

Severe bimaxillary protrusion is one of the most difficult challenges in orthodontic treatment, but the maximum retraction of the anterior teeth is currently performed without much difficulty using TADs. Efficient anterior vertical control during bimaxillary protrusion treatment and mesio-distal diameter changes of the upper airway due to maximum retraction of anterior teeth are shown in this lecture.

Learning Objectives:

• Configure the treatment goals of severe bimaxillary protrusion using TADs.
• Explain the efficient mechanics for anterior vertical control during bimaxillary protrusion treatment using TADs.
• Recognize the changes of the upper airway due to maximum retraction of anterior teeth.
