<strong>The</strong> following records are those of a 12-year-old girl.<br />
She had no crowding and a Class I malocclusion with overjet. She was treated non-extraction.<br />
Although an acceptable occlusion was achieved for this patient, upon closer examination one can see that her<br />
face got longer, her mandible rotated down and back, and her smile got gummier.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se unfavorable sequellae were <strong>the</strong> result of lack of vertical control. <strong>The</strong> cephalometric analysis shows an<br />
FMA of 35˚, ANB of 7˚, FMIA of 48˚, and a facial height index of 50.<br />
One should have been able to instantly know what would happen if <strong>the</strong> patient was treated non-extraction.<br />
Although an acceptable occlusion was achieved, facial balance was worsened. <strong>The</strong> molars erupted. <strong>The</strong>re was<br />
extrusion of incisors and clockwise mandibular rotation.<br />
