- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a two-phase orthodontic treatment in an 11-year-old girl with skeletal Class I malocclusion, involving maxillary and mandibular expansion followed by bimaxillary total arch distalization to address dental crowding and improve facial profile. It discusses challenges in mandibular tooth distalization due to limited retromolar space, observed bone remodeling facilitating tooth movement, and stable treatment outcomes after over 4 years of treatment.
