Abstract
The maxillary occlusal plane deviation, also known as the canted maxillary occlusal plane, is one of the most frequent orthodontic disorders. Treatment varies to the point where surgical intervention may be required

Canting caused by extruded teeth can be corrected with fixed orthodontic appliances combined with miniscrew anchorages
The canted maxillary occlusal plane was corrected by intruding extruded teeth with fixed orthodontic appliances combined with miniscrew anchorages, and a customized retainer was produced to prevent relapse
Summary
The maxillary occlusal plane deviation, known as the canted maxillary occlusal plane, is one of the most frequent orthodontic disorders. Canted occlusal planes caused by unilaterally extruded maxillary molars or uneven mandibular vertical development are common in patients with facial asymmetry [2]. Since the introduction of miniscrew appliances into orthodontic practices, this equipment has played an essential role in resolving orthodontic difficulties that seem impossible to manage with conventional orthodontic equipment alone [4] They can, for example, provide maximum anchorage, intrusion of elongated teeth, and other types of actions [5]. In this case report, we discuss a novel method for correcting a maxillary occlusal plane deviation with a miniscrew; a novel retention technique was considered to assist in managing this case. 1.
