The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the possibility of correcting the appearance of a protruded or retruded chin through relocation of the anterior alveolar segment. Five patients with a protruded chin (group I) were treated by anterior repositioning of the alveolar segment, while five patients with a retruded chin (group II) were treated through posterior repositioning of the mandible. In the patients in group I, the convexity of the chin became less pronounced and the most anterior point of the soft tissue chin curvature (pogonion) moved superiorly. In the patients in group II, the convexity of the chin become more pronounced. The position of soft tissue pogonion was unchanged. The ratio of the segment-lip movement in both groups was close 1:1. The method is easy to perform and provides predictable results. For patients with a protruded chin, in whom reduction genioplasty often offers a poor result, the procedure described could be a method of choice.

Statement Of The Problem: The position of the chin and lips are important components in the lower third of the face and can be changed by orthodontic treatment. It seems that factors such as diversity in culture, ethnicity, and place of residence are among the factors affecting people's perception of beauty. Iran, as a vast country, contains different ethnicities and cultures, and of course, it is not exempt from this point of view.

Objective: To examine the patterns of pretreatment facial soft tissue shape in orthodontic cases with premolar extraction using artificial intelligence (AI) and to investigate the corresponding changes.
Methods: One hundred and fifty-two patients who underwent orthodontic treatment with premolar extraction were enrolled. Lateral cephalograms were obtained before and after the treatment.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate soft tissue changes in patients with retruded chins using three methods: fat augmentation, PEEK augmentation, and sliding genioplasty as a control.
- A total of 33 patients were divided into the three treatment groups, and both pre-op and post-op assessments were conducted, including the evaluation of patient satisfaction using the Face-Q questionnaire.
- Results showed that fat augmentation had a significant reduction in soft tissue relapse after 6 months compared to the control, while PEEK results were comparable to the control, indicating that fat augmentation is effective for mild to moderate cases while PEEK provides stable outcomes.

The lower face is an integral component of a beautiful face. Age-related changes in this region are so significant that they are often easily appreciated by patients. The aging process not only includes volume loss or downward fat repositioning, but also soft tissue laxity, skin changes, and even bony resorption.

A frequent facial abnormality called chin retrusion, also known as retrognathia, can be detrimental to a person's self-esteem and overall face aesthetics. Hyaluronic acid (HA) injections are one non-surgical approach to this problem that may provide individuals seeking chin augmentation with a relatively less invasive and potentially more affordable alternative. The present literature does not provide enough in-depth systematic reviews of the use of HA in chin augmentation.
