title: Retreatment of a transfer patient with bialveolar protrusion with mini bone-plate anchorage.
abstract: A 40-year-old black woman, with pretorqued, preangulated appliances on the maxillary teeth, transferred with chief concerns of missing teeth and her orthodontic progress. She had bialveolar protrusion and edentulous areas in both the maxilla and the mandible. After records were made and her desires assessed, she was retreated with the extraction of 3 premolars. Her protrusion was reduced and all edentulous spaces were closed. The facial change was evident due to the reduction of the protrusion.
