Abstract：In cases of bimaxillary protrusion and Angle ClassⅡmalocclusion(maxilla hyperplasia),extraction of premo-lars and orthodontic treatment with retraction of the anterior teeth is a widely used approach. Minimizing the damage to teeth and their supporting tissue when moving teeth efficiently is needed. However many findings have shown that alveo-lar bone loss,root resorption and gingival recession occur after retracting the anterior teeth. Sometimes it even affects the overall effect of orthodontic treatment. This paper made a review of the adverse reconstruction of teeth and periodontal tis-sue caused by anterior teeth retraction and its possible risk factors.
