However, severalissues such as patient’s compliance, appliance effectiveness, and cost of the device become many clinicians concern. The differentialmoment concept in segmented arch is a technique that requires no patient compliance but can effectively manage posterior anchorageand avoid bite deepening by careful application of forces and moments. Purpose: The purpose of this case report is to show theuse of differential moment concept in segmented arch technique to manage posterior anchorage and to avoid bite deepening. Case:A 21 years old female patient with forward position of her front teeth as her chief complaint was treated using fixed orthodontic appliance.Case management: The treatment included four first bicuspid extraction and space closure utilizing differential moment concept insegmented arch. Conclusion: It can be concluded that application of differential moment concept in segmented arch technique is a noninvasive, compliance independent, effective, and cost efficient method to manage posterior anchorage and to avoid bite deepening.
