Intrusion of the permanent maxillary molar can be achieved on a continuous arch wire with a single buccal mini-implant placed bilaterally with improvement in facial aesthetics, especially in the vertical plane. This method may be beneficial in patients with borderline vertical discrepancy treated with conventional friction mechanics during space closure after first premolar extractions.
