Abstract :

 17–year old female presented with severe bimaxillary proclination, edge to edge bite, incompetent lips with upper peg shaped lateral incisors. First premolars extraction was planned to correct proclination of anterior teeth and achieve lip competency. Retraction of the upper and lower anterior reduced dental proclination, lip incompetency and lip strain. Post treatment incisors inclination was improved and peg shaped lateral incisors were restored. As the incisors were retracted, lip competency, nasolabial angle and mentolabial sulcus depth improved.
