{Abstract}: <B>OBJECTIVE: </B>The congenital oligodontia impeding the development of the alveolar process resulting in disproportionate jaw growth has been previously reported. This case report describes the interdisciplinary management of an 11-year-old girl with Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome exhibiting oligodontia and maxillary hypoplasia.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>An adjunctive orthodontic therapy was performed by taking advantage of bone-anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP) therapy using miniplates and 24-hour traction by intermaxillary Class III elastics. After 6 months of active treatment, the maxilla advanced by approximately 5 mm and upper lip relation improved by 3 mm without any significant changes in vertical relations. All the changes were maintained at 15th-month follow-up. A temporary removable prosthesis was given for immediate esthetics, and the definitive management is discussed.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>The BAMP therapy can be a befitting alternative in cases exhibiting complex presentation involving skeletal and dentoalveolar components. An appreciable profile improvement without any dentoalveolar side effects can be achieved with BAMP therapy.
