Abstract

This is the case of a 12-year-old African young girl with bialveolar protrusion and night mouth breathing. Orthodontic treatment without dental extraction consisted after tonsillectomy in retraction of anterior teeth in the diastema spaces. The normalization of the angle of the upper incisor has improved bialveolar protrusion without alteration to the prior balance of soft tissue.
