Objectives: The present case report describes the orthodontic retreatment of a skeletal Class II postpubescent female patient who presented following previous orthodontic treatment that involved the extraction of the four first premolars, temporomandibular disorders and a convex facial profile. Methods: The patient, aged 15 years, sought treatment for the chief complaints of an unaesthetic facial profile and difficulty in opening her mouth. The examination revealed a convex facial profile and a moderate skeletal Class II relationship within a long face. The patient had bilateral pain around the temporomandibular joints and her maximum mouth opening was only 1 1 mm. The treatment plan was to initially relieve the temporomandibular symptoms and then to retract the upper dentition using miniimplants. Results: The patient's mouth opening ability reached 37 mm and a significantly improved harmonious facial profile was achieved. Conclusions: Cases that present with previous unsuccessful orthodontic treatment may be retreated to achieve a satisfactory aesthetic and functional result by precise control of tooth movement in three dimensions.
