The effect of lingual orthodontic appliances in the dimensional reduction of labial gingival recession and root prominence caused by wire syndrome in the anterior mandible: a multicenter study.

The use of CCLAs to torque roots of the anterior mandibular teeth, exposed by wire syndrome, towards the middle of the alveolar process reduces the area of subsequent labial gingival recession and reduces the root prominence of the affected teeth substantially. This is considered a critical step in optimizing the predictability of surgical recession coverage.
