Conventional lingual orthodontic biomechanics leads to torque loss during en masse retraction of the anterior segment in the bimaxillary proclination cases treated by first premolar extraction. Torque loss affects the final outcome of the treatment negatively. Adding a lever arm to the lingual wire will transmit the point of force application at or apical to the center of rotation which will reduce or eliminate toqrue loss during anterior segment retraction.
