    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Orthodontics
    • Facial Aesthetics

    Background:

    • Accurate prediction of lip morphology changes is essential for successful visual treatment objectives in dentistry.
    • The vertical position of the gingival embrasure and its relationship with the incisal edges of the upper incisors are key factors influencing lip aesthetics.
    • Incompetent lips present a common challenge in orthodontic and cosmetic dental treatments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel aid for predicting and managing changes in lip morphology.
    • To highlight the significance of the embrasure's vertical position in relation to incisal edges for achieving desired lip aesthetics.
    • To offer a solution for the common problem of incompetent lips in the context of visual treatment planning.

    Main Methods:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of the relationship between the vertical position of the gingival embrasure and the incisal edges of the maxillary incisors.
  • Development of a predictive model or guideline for assessing potential lip morphology alterations.
  • Clinical evaluation of the proposed aid in cases with incompetent lips.

    • Main Results:

    • The vertical position of the embrasure is a critical determinant of upper incisor display and overall lip support.
    • The suggested aid provides a quantifiable method for predicting lip changes, improving treatment outcomes.
    • Successful application of the aid in improving the aesthetics and function of incompetent lips was demonstrated.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding the interplay between embrasure position and incisal edges is vital for predictable lip morphology outcomes.
    • The proposed aid serves as a valuable tool for clinicians in addressing incompetent lips and optimizing visual treatment objectives.
    • This approach enhances the precision of orthodontic and aesthetic dental treatments by focusing on key morphological indicators.
