This case report evaluates the management of a Bimaxillary Dentoalveolar protrusion with a Class I malocclusion in a male patient with extraction of 1st premolars for correction of the prognathic profile of the patient. Clinical and cephalometric evaluation revealed skeletal Class I malocclusion with crowding with a convex facial profile, a Horizontal growth pattern, potentially incompetent lips, a posterior divergent face, average overjet and overbite. Following fixed orthodontic treatment by removal of 1st premolars in the upper and lower arch with retraction of anterior segment , a marked improvement in patient’s smile, facial profile and occlusion was achieved and there was a remarkable increase in the patient’s confidence and quality of life The profile changes and treatment results were demonstrated with proper case selection and good patient cooperation with Fixed appliance therapy.

Keywords: Bimaxillary Dentoalveolar Protrusion, Class I malocclusion, Fixed Orthodontic treatment, 1 st Premolar Extraction, Orthodontic Camouflage.
