Because the patient also presented with a bimaxillary protursion and a displaced maxillary midline, the treatment options also illustrate the dilemma between ideal, but prlonged, treatment options and quicker, but compromised, alternatives. The excellent final result accepted the initial protrusion but corrected the midline. A long-span bonded multistrand wire functioned as semipermanent retention.
