Visual treatment objectives for facial profile improvement by nonextraction orthodontic treatment with temporary skeletal anchorage devices: A 9-year follow-up

Abstract

To improve her facial balance, a 15-year-old female with a convex profile and a retrognathic chin was treated with nonextraction orthodontic treatment along with temporary skeletal anchorage devices. The patient was in treatment for a total of 26 months. Her 9-year posttreatment records showed excellent results with good occlusion and facial harmony.
