(A, B) Three-dimensional key plate (3DKP) with transpalatal WAVE wire and extension arms for distalisation and palatal uprighting of the maxillary molars, fixed orthodontic appliance for levelling of the mandibular dentition, and miniscrews in the buccal shelf for distalisation, buccal uprighting and intrusion of the mandibular molars. (C) Finishing.
