Edentulous spaces can be closed with dental implants, prosthesis, and orthodontic space closure. As mandibular bone is dense, protraction of molars is time taking and challenging. Temporary anchorage devices play a vital role in providing anchorage. Translation of molars can be achieved with power arms which are placed near to the centre of resistance. This is a case with bilaterally missing mandibular first molars and lower central incisor. Ridge defect is seen in molar region on right side. Class II molar relation was achieved bilaterally with second molar moving into first molar space followed by the third molar. Translation was achieved bilaterally and 10mm of space closure was done with the help of TAD’s and power arms.
