Improvements of facial profile and smile aesthetic using temporary anchorage devices and botulinum toxin: a case report.

The severe gummy smile and a skeletal class II profile pose challenges in treatment. This case report outlines an effective alternative for addressing these problems in a patient with skeletal class II division 2, class II molar relationship, retroclination of upper incisors, and lip protrusion. Treatment objectives included normalizing the overjet and overbite, improving the gummy smile, and establishing a satisfactory occlusion.

A multidisciplinary approach to managing severe gummy smile using 3D simulation and digital surgical guide: a case report.

A smile that reveals >4 mm of gum tissue is called a gummy smile (GS), offering negative impacts on people's self-confidence and aesthetic appearance. The treatment for GS should be planned according to underlying causes such as altered passive eruption of teeth, dentoalveolar extrusion, vertical maxillary excess, and short or hyperactive lip muscles. In this case report, a patient with severe GS received orthodontic and gingivoplasty treatment, aided by digital tools such as 3D simulation, smile design, and 3D printed guides.

Management of a severe skeletal open bite case using temporary anchorage devices and multiloop edgewise arch wire technique.

The primary cause of complex AOB malocclusion is typically a combination of dental, skeletal, functional, and habitual factors. Open bite correction is a challenging treatment due to its complexity and the requirement for long-term stability, therefore, multidisciplinary treatment is often the best option for achieving stable esthetic outcomes.

Use of surgical grafting as a part of multidisciplinary treatment for a patient treated with fixed orthodontic therapy to improve treatment outcomes.

Key Clinical Abstract: Multidisciplinary treatment options can help provide good clinical outcomes if these are appropriately sequenced and carried out correctly. This case exemplifies interdisciplinary involvement to ensure the patient received an improved esthetic outcome.

Abstract: The presence of anterior diastemas may compromise the esthetics of a patient's smile, causing mental, and social trauma in many patients.
