Fig 2 : Pre-treatment extraoral photographs
(Table-1) Dentoalveolar readings suggested
proclined and protruded maxillary anteriors
with mildly retroclined and retruded mandibular
anteriors. The mandibular plane angle was
normal, suggesting an average growth pattern.
CVMI stage -2 revealed that 65-85 % growth is
expected.

Treatment objectives were to:
1. Obtain a symmetrical class I occlusion
without extractions.
2. Improove facial appearence by inhibiting
forward vertical growth of maxilla and
stimulating growth of mandible.
3. Avoid any backward rotation of the mandible.
