Abstract
Cephalometric is a tool routinely used in orthodontics to reflect upon the result of a finished case. At times, impressive clinical result might not corroborate into ideal cephalometric goals. This case report illustrates such a case where the facial changes produced were marked, however, to call this case a success or failure, can become a bone of contention among orthodontists, when reflected upon in light of the cephalometric goals.
