ABSTRACT
Protraction of mandibular posterior teeth requiring absolute anchorage has always been a challenge, especially when the space is located in the anterior region, since more teeth must be protracted. Traditionally, skeletal anchorage devices have been used for anchorage reinforcement during protraction. However, drawbacks such as requirement of a surgical step, inability to tolerate heavy forces, and patient willingness to undergo such surgical procedures can be limiting factors. Additionally, the mechanics involved can sometimes create undesirable side effects, thereby limiting their application in such situations. This report describes the use of a fixed functional appliance as an anchorage-reinforcement device for en-masse protraction of mandibular posterior teeth into a missing lateral incisor space.
