Upper teeth intrusion to correct lip incompetence and gumminess?
Posted: Mon Nov 28, 2016 11:21 pm
Anyone have any experience with upper teeth intrusion to fix lip incompetence? I have seen it be used to correct gumminess, by means of TADs (https://www.orthodontisteenligne.com/en/blog/19364/) but im wondering if:
A- it could also correct lip incompetence
B- how it would affect ones appearance
C- if the closed bite, open lip posture would show no incisors.
Supposedly, showing a few mm of upper incisors at posture described on C is desirable and shows youthfullness, with which i agree. However, how much of that would be affected, if many of the frontal upper teeth were intruted as well.
Has anyone had this as part of their treatment?
