Article Synopsis
- Aesthetic dental appearance is dependent on the ideal exposure of incisors and gingival tissues, with 0-2 mm gingival exposure considered attractive when smiling and 2-4 mm when at rest.
- The paper introduces the Functional Aesthetic Occlusal Plane (FAOP), aimed at improving diagnosis of relationships between molars, incisors, and the upper lip.
- FAOP enhances existing orthodontic treatment plans by highlighting the position of incisors, which helps address both functional and aesthetic considerations.
