Skeletal class II has always been a challenge in orthodontics and often needs assistance of surgical orthodontics in nongrowing\npatients when it presents with severe discrepancy. Difficulty increases more when vertical dysplasia is also associated with sagittal\ndiscrepancy. The advent of mini implants in orthodontics has broadened the spectrum of camouflage treatment. This case report\npresents a 16-year-old nongrowing girl with severe class II because of retrognathic mandible, and anterior dentoalveolar protrusion\nsagittally and vertically resulted in severe overjet of 13mmand excessive display of incisors and gums. Both maxillary central incisors\nwere trimmed by general practitioner few years back to reduce visibility. Treatment involved use of micro implant for retraction and\nintrusion of anterior maxillary dentoalveolar segment while lower incisors were proclined to obtain normal overjet, and overbite\nand pleasing soft tissue profile. Smile esthetics was further improved with composite restoration of incisal edges of both central\nincisors.
