Three-dimensional soft tissue changes after simulated protrusion of upper and lower incisors in young adults: an experimental study
Anterior positioning of incisors leads to predictable, direction-specific changes in perioral soft tissues. The magnitude and pattern of soft-tissue responses vary with the combination of upper and lower incisor movement and individual lip thickness. These findings may support clinical planning in orthodontic and/or orthognathic treatments.
