The Combo Strategy: Triple Approach for Gummy Smile—18‐Month Case Series

The integrated "combo technique" offers a minimally invasive and highly effective alternative for correcting EGD. It enables individualized treatment planning, reduces the amount of Botox needed, and results in stable esthetic outcomes with high patient satisfaction and minimal postoperative discomfort. This interdisciplinary approach provides a predictable and long-lasting solution for complex GS cases in patients unwilling or unsuitable for orthognathic surgery.

Abstract

The integrated "combo technique" offers a minimally invasive and highly effective alternative for correcting EGD. It enables individualized treatment planning, reduces the amount of Botox needed, and results in stable esthetic outcomes with high patient satisfaction and minimal postoperative discomfort. This interdisciplinary approach provides a predictable and long-lasting solution for complex GS cases in patients unwilling or unsuitable for orthognathic surgery.
