Abstract: A double J retractor and palatal miniscrews were applied to retract maxillary anterior teeth without brackets after repeated periodontal flare-ups. The line of action passing through the center of resistance of maxillary anterior teeth and the moment generated by palatal miniscrews via torquing springs successfully controlled the overbite and incisor torque during space closure. In addition to en-masse retraction without brackets, it is also possible to combine this setup with labial fixed appliances or clear aligner treatment.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 American Association of Orthodontists.
