Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Measuring amount of vertical impaction of anterior maxilla after performing labial maxillary cotricotomy and activation of functional loading

Measuring amount of linear impaction (in millimeters) to evaluate validity of compression osteogenesis in treating gummy smile of a skeletal etiology ( due to increased anterior maxilla height) after performing labia maxillary corticotomy and activating functional loading using power chain elastics anchored on transmucosal mini- screws.

Time frame: 3 months
