Correction of a mandibular alveolar protrusion using maxillary miniscrew anchorage in the treatment of a Class II division 1 malocclusion

This article describes a relatively simple method of reducing a mandibular alveolar protrusion without compensatory extraction of mandibular bicuspids or advancement of anterior teeth in the treatment of a Class II division 1 malocclusion. The use of well-planned skeletal anchorage specifically adapted to each specific situation is also well elucidated.
