Abstract

The aim of this case report was to present an alternative therapeutic combination involving lip repositioning (LR) in the correction of gummy smile (GS). This treatment is less invasive than orthognathic surgery and is highly acceptable to patients, using a modified technique that combines myotomy with the insertion of polyester threads as a physical barrier against relapse.
