Effects of deviations in the nose and chin prominence on facial attractiveness.

To assess the effects of deviations in the nose and chin prominence on facial attractiveness. In this study, a reference digital photograph was taken from the facial profile view of an adult female model. Some changes were made in the nose and chin prominence in Photoshop software using the Crumley's analysis. Changes made in the nose prominence yielded a prominent nose (2:11 ratio), a normal nose (3:53 ratio) and a small nose (4:61 ratio). Changes made in the chin prominence were protrusion by +2 and 0 mm and retrusion by -2, -4 and -6 mm (distance from the pogonion to the vertical reference line). In total, 18 orthodontists, 18 oral and maxillofacial surgeons, 18 art students and 18 laypeople evaluated the photographs (n = 15) and expressed their opinion regarding the facial profile attractiveness using a visual analogue scale (0-100). Data were analysed using SPSS version 18. A significant difference was noted in the ratings of photographs (Greenhouse-Geisser, P < 0.001). Orthodontists gave a significantly higher score than laypeople to photographs with a small nose and deviations of the chin prominence (P = 0.015). Art students gave a significantly higher score than laypeople to photographs with a prominent chin and deviations in the nose prominence (P = 0.012). Facial profile with a normal (3:53 ratio) or small (4:61 ratio) nose and chin protrusion/retrusion by 2 mm (pogonion-vertical line) is considered attractive.

Reharmonize: Aesthetic Modalities Founded on the Concepts of Restoring, Reshaping, and Resurfacing for the Comprehensive Treatment of Millennials

Background: Non-surgical minimally invasive procedures, typically in combination, are now becoming the norm. The integrated use of these modalities can be offered to millennial patients, who have unique demands and aesthetic goals. Objective: We aimed to demonstrate the effects of Definisse™ Fillers, Definisse™ Threads and Definisse™ Peel Program in combination to treat two millennials, one female and one male. Case description: The male subject had noticeable change in his facial proportions with correction of hollows over the malar and suborbital areas and a more prominent chin with the help of both Definisse™ Fillers and Definisse™ Threads (double needle and free floating). There was also noticeable improvement in the pigmentation with a more even and clearer skin tone after Definisse™ Lightening Peel application. The patient verbalized a high level of satisfaction with the effects of the treatment overall. The female subject had a noticeable correction of the prominence on her nasal bridge. There was a slightly pronounced lateral and upward lifting of the cheeks. Her uneven pigmentation was also seen to diminish following Definisse™ Peel Program. She was likewise very satisfied and happy with the result of her treatment. Conclusion: The prejuvenation effect of a combination of minimal invasive procedures provides an optimal aesthetic option for millennials. The results obtained confirm the importance of the reharmonize approach to male and female aesthetics. And this is accomplished by working from deep to superficial facial, with satisfactory and long-lasting aesthetic outcomes.

A study of dentofacial morphology in yemeni adults with normal occlusions a cross sectional prospective study

OBJECTIVE:The purpose of this study was to describe the dentofacial morphology of Yemeni adults.MATERIALS AND METHODS:The lateral cephalograms of 100 Yemeni adults (50 males, 50 females) were included in the study. All subjects were born to Yemeni parents and grandparents. They all had Class I occlusions with minor or no crowding, well-aligned upper and lower dental arches, good facial harmony, all teeth present except third molars, and no history of orthodontic therapy or maxillofacial surgery. Five angular and eighteen linear measurements were analyzed to determine the soft tissue, skeletal, and dental features. The differences for each measurement between Yemeni males and females were calculated using unpaired t–tests.RESULTS:Significant sexual and racial differences were found for three linear parameters in the skeletal analysis, one angle, and four linear dental measurements, and for all soft tissue linear parameters. Yemeni adults showed a tendency to a facial pattern of Class II, convex profile, reduced prominence of chin, increased lower facial height, and a clockwise rotation of the mandibular plane angle.CONCLUSION:Yemeni adults have different dentofacial parameters when compared to other racial standards, and these differences could aid in diagnosis and treatment planning.

Evaluation of the effects of maxillary expansion and protraction on facial soft tissue profile in unilateral cleft lip and palate patients using cone beam computed tomography

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate 3 dimensionally the influence of maxillary expansion and protraction on the facial soft tissue profile in unilateral cleft lip and palate patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 2 groups. The first treatment group included randomly selected CBCT scans of 15 unilateral cleft lip and palate patients (8 males and 7 females, mean age 8.3±1 years) with skeletal Class III treated with Hyrax expander for rapid expansion and face mask appliance for maxillary protraction. The CBCT scans for each patient were available before starting the treatment (T1) and after a positive overjet was achieved (T2). The soft tissue profile changes in the treatment group were compared with a closely matched second control group with skeletal Class I relation (7 males and 8 females, mean age of 8.5± 1.1 years). Results: Upper lip protrusion, H angle, prominence of the nose and soft tissue facial height showed statistically significant increase in the first than the second group (P < 0.001). Lower lip protrusion, angle of facial convexity, nasolabial angle and soft tissue chin prominence showed statistically significant decrease in the first than the second group (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Unilateral cleft lip and palate patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion showed significant improvement in the facial soft tissue profile when treated with hyrax expander and face mask.

Variation in the assessment of facial aesthetics of women during the past 150 years

Variation in the assessment of facial aesthetics through time was investigated with the help of measurements of actresses from 1875 to 2020 most widely considered to be beautiful. Measurements were carried out on reasonably standardised profile and frontal photographs. During the length of the period studied, the following trends in changing attitudes to facial beauty were recognised: a steady increase in the redness and prominence of lips, a decrease in eye height and an increase in eye width, and with it, a decrease in the height/width ratio or the eyes. In addition, the chin-neck angle and the nasolabial angle became sharper. This trend was especially evident after 1950. Both the group of actresses from 1875 to 1900 and a group of British female students from 2005 showed a relatively flatter lip profile, a more prominent chin and a larger nasolabial angle. After 2000 a mild preference developed for somewhat more redness of the upper and lower lips both frontally and from the side, somewhat more prominent lips, sharper nasolabial and chin-neck angles and a narrower eye height.

The goniomaxillar length/goniomandibular length ratio in normal newborn infants: A clinical tool for defining chin position abnormalities.

Retrognathia (recessed chin) and prognathism (prominent chin) often present as signs of an underlying condition. Accurate clinical definitions are important. Yet their definitions were according to "clinical impression", or to seldom used X-ray criteria. We propose a statistical and anthropometric definition of retrognathia and prognathism based upon the ratio between the goniomaxillar length (distance between the gonion at the mandible angle and the subnasale and the goniomandibular length (distance between the mandible angle and the most anterior point of the bony chin). We assumed that an increase in the ratio indicates retrognathia and a decrease reflects prognathism. We conducted a prospective, observational, anthropometric study in 204 consecutive healthy term infants. Measurements took place on the second day of life, using sliding calipers. Mean ± SD of goniomandibular length (5.1 ± 0.3 cm), goniomaxillar length (5.4 ± 0.3 cm), were calculated. All measurements correlated significantly with gestational age, and with infant birthweight. The mean ± SD goniomaxillar length/goniomandibular length ratio was 1.06 ± 0.05. We defined a normal ratio as being within 2 SD of the mean, that is, between 0.96 and and 1.16. This ratio correlated with neither gestational age nor with birthweight. We conclude that the goniomaxillar length/goniomandibular length ratio can be calculated whenever retro - or prognathism is suspected. A ratio outside of the 95% confidence interval should help in making this diagnosis. An increase in this ratio beyond 2 SD above the mean (1.16) could be interpreted as retrognathia and a decrease beyond 2 SD below the mean (0.96) as prognathism.

Evaluation of the facial soft tissue changes in skeletal anterior open bite patients treated with rapid molar intruder appliance using cone beam computed tomography

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the facial soft tissue changes in skeletal anterior open bite patients treated with rapid molar intruder appliance using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 2 groups. The first treatment group included randomly selected CBCT scans of 20 skeletal open bite patients (8 males and 12 females, mean age 11.6±1.1 years) who were treated with the rapid molar intruder appliance (RMI) for molar intrusion. The CBCT scans were taken before treatment (T1) and after open bite correction (T2). The facial soft tissue changes in the treatment group were compared with a closely matched second untreated control group with normal anterior overbite (9 males and 11 females, mean age 11.9± 1.2 years). Results: The first group showed significantly greater decreases in the angle of facial convexity and the H angle than the second group. The first group showed significantly greater increases in the lower lip protrusion and the soft tissue chin prominence than the second group. The upper lip protrusion and the soft tissue facial height were decreased in the first group and increased in the second one. The difference was statistically significant. The nasolabial angle was increased in the first group and decreased in the second one. The difference was statistically significant. Conclusions: Molar intrusion using the rapid molar intruder appliance (RMI) could result in significant improvement in the facial soft tissue profile in skeletal anterior open bite patients.

Cephalometric norms for north indian population using burstone analysis

Cephalometric norms are extremely useful to the orthodontist for providing guidance during diagnosis and treatment planning. But they are subjected to variability in morphologic characteristics in different ethnic and racial groups. The study was conducted on 76 subjects of 18-28 years of age with class I occlusion with acceptable facial profile. Standardized lateral cephalograms were taken in a natural head position and analyzed.North Indians exhibit increased facial convexity, greater mandibular prognathism, more obtuse lower face- throat angle and greater amount of upper lip - lower lip protrusion. Males showing larger cranial base length, vertical positioning and length of maxilla, ramal length, and the chin prominence. On dental analysis, females tend to have lesser proclined anterior teethThe present study was an attempt to provide better knowledge of facial morphology in the North Indians hence a comprehensive treatment planning can be done based on the norms derived for the correction of skeletal discrepancies.

Assessing the influence of chin prominence on perceived facial aesthetics among three groups of observers

To assess the influence of chin prominence on facial aesthetics with 3D images, to investigate the cognitive boundaries of chin prominence among orthodontists, general dentists and laypeople and compare the variance of their cognitive data, in order to provide quantitative reference for selection of clinical treatment. A 3D facial image was obtained by 3dMD. The soft tissue pogonion point was altered in 2 mm increments from -10 to 10 mm with Geomagic Wrap 2015, in order to represent retrusion and protrusion of the chin. These images were rated by orthodontists, general dentists and laypeople with VAS scores. Multivariate mixed linear regression was used to analyze the influence of gender, age and chin prominence on VAS scores, and whether there were differences among different groups with SAS 9.4 software package. ANOVA was also applied for comparison of each prominence. This study was composed of 243 subjects, including 90 orthodontists, 101 general dentists and 52 laypeople. Chin prominence had significant effect on VAS scores. VAS scores decreased by 0.8910 for each unit increase in chin retrusion and decreased by 1.0958 for each unit increase in chin protrusion（P<0.01）. Desire for treatment started when chin retrusion exceeded 6 mm in orthodontist group and layperson group, 4 mm in general dentist group, and chin protrusion reached 6 mm in all groups（VAS scores <5）. There was no significant difference in the scores among orthodontists, general dentists and laypeople with the variance of chin prominence, and there was no significant difference in gender and age. Chin prominence had significant effect on facial aesthetics. Soft tissue pogonion point located on the zero meridian was considered as the most attractive. Treatment needs increased significantly when chin protrusion reached 6 mm or chin retrusion exceeded 6 mm. There was no significant difference in the assessment among orthodontists, general dentists and laypeople.

A Cross-Sectional Study to Understand 3D Facial Differences in a Population of African Americans and Caucasians.

Objective The purpose of this cross-sectional retrospective study was to use three-dimensional surface imaging to determine gender dimorphism and facial morphological changes from adolescence to adulthood in African American and Caucasian populations. Materials and Methods Three-dimensional images were captured and the total sample size included 371 subjects. Images were combined using Rapidform 2006 Plus Pack 2 software to produce a male and female facial average for each population. Comparisons were conducted within the following categories: (1) gender comparison within each race, (2) adult and adolescent comparison within each race, and (3) adult and adolescent comparison between the races. Results Adolescent gender comparisons within each race showed high percentages of similarity. However, adult females in both races showed more prominent periorbital, malar, and nasolabial regions and less prominent lower forehead, nose, and lower face compared with adult males of the same race. African American adult females showed increase in length and width of the face, increased nasal tip projection, and decreased periorbital regions compared with African American adolescent females. Welsh adult females had an increase in the nose and chin projection compared with Welsh adolescent females. Adult males of both races had increase in nose and chin projection, increase in length and width of the face, and decreased periorbital, malar, and nasolabial regions compared with adolescent males of the same race. African American adolescents had a wider alar base, more protrusive lips, and periorbital regions, and less prominent nose and chin compared with the Welsh adolescents. African American adults also had a wider alar base; more protrusive lips and periorbital regions; a broader face; and more retrusive chin, nose, nasolabial region; and lower forehead compared with Welsh adults. Conclusions Few differences were noted between genders within the same racial groups during adolescence. However, changes became more distinct in adulthood. From adolescence to adulthood, facial morphologies were similarly matched within the gender for females; however, there were significant changes for males. Lastly, facial morphology patterns tend to be established early in life.

The phenotype of Sotos syndrome in adulthood: A review of 44 individuals

Sotos syndrome is an overgrowth-intellectual disability (OGID) syndrome caused by NSD1 pathogenic variants and characterized by a distinctive facial appearance, an intellectual disability, tall stature and/or macrocephaly. Other associated clinical features include scoliosis, seizures, renal anomalies, and cardiac anomalies. However, many of the published Sotos syndrome clinical descriptions are based on studies of children; the phenotype in adults with Sotos syndrome is not yet well described. Given that it is now 17 years since disruption of NSD1 was shown to cause Sotos syndrome, many of the children first reported are now adults. It is therefore timely to investigate the phenotype of 44 adults with Sotos syndrome and NSD1 pathogenic variants. We have shown that adults with Sotos syndrome display a wide spectrum of intellectual ability with functioning ranging from fully independent to fully dependent. Reproductive rates are low. In our cohort, median height in adult women is +1.9 SD and men +0.5 SD. There is a distinctive facial appearance in adults with a tall, square, prominent chin. Reassuringly, adults with Sotos syndrome are generally healthy with few new medical issues; however, lymphedema, poor dentition, hearing loss, contractures and tremor have developed in a small number of individuals.

Displasia ektodermal tipe hipohidrotik pada seorang anak bayi tiga tahun

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by defect in two or more ectodermal structures such as teeth, hair, nails and sweat glands. Ectodermal dysplasia divided into 2 types, which is hidrotic and hypohidrotic. The hypohidrotic type was found in 80% of cases. There is no specific treatment for this disorder, which is more of a symptomatic measures depends on the structure involved.Case: A 1 year old male, Balinese, consulted from Department of Pediatrics to Department of Dermatovenereology with the chief complaint of dry skin, absence of sweat, teeth, scalp hair and eyebrow since birth. Recurrent fever present especially in hot climates. No growth abnormalities. No history of incest between parents. His grandfather also complained about the same symptoms, which are sparse hair and decreased sweating. General examination revealed frontal bossing, saddle nose, prominent chin and anodontia. Dermatologic examination revealed multiple hypopigmented macules, well defined margin, oval-round shaped, size ø 0,5-1 cm, distributed over entire skin and anhidrosis. Department of Dermatovenereology gives moisturizer every 12 hours topically. Department of Pediatrics gives zinc tablets, 20 mg every 24 hours orally.Conclusion:The diagnosis of ED was mainly clinical. Treatment is symptomatic and effective education is needed to increase patient's quality of life. Early fetal detection can be performed if there is a risk in the family. Currently, there is a team joined under SIDIC program in Sanglah Hospital whose main purpose is to detect and prevent congenital disorders early.

Facial anthropometry in an adult male with Sotos syndrome

Introduction: Sotos Syndrome is a dominant autossomic disease caused by a mutation in NSD1 gene localized in chromosome 5. The craniofacial phenotype of Sotos Syndrome is quite distinctive, especially in the young child, and includes macrocephaly, widelyspaced eyes, prominent chin and mandible, high and curved forehead, palpebral slits oblique and downward, long and narrowface. This phenotype plays an important role in the identification of this syndrome. Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the craniofacial anthropometric landmarks of a young adult male with medical diagnosis of Sotos Syndrome. Material and methods: Using noninvasive method of craniofacial anthropometry, twenty five anthropometric measurements were taken of the individual and compared with the facial pattern of non-syndromic individuals,matched in gender and age. The findings were standards and converted to Z-scores. Results: the data analysis showed that the majority of variables were in supernormal range (greater than +2 standard deviation (SD). None none of them was in the subnormal range (less than –2SD). Conclusion: Anthropometric analysis of Sotos Syndrome demonstrated the usefulness of craniofacial analysisin defining abnormal craniofacial dimensions.

Analysing chin prominence in relation to the lower lip: The lower lip-chin prominence angle

The purpose of this investigation is to describe a potentially useful analysis in assessing the required extent of sagittal chin augmentation or set-back, by relating chin prominence to lower lip position using the ‘lower lip-chin prominence angle’. The secondary aim was to quantitatively evaluate the influence of this angle on perceived attractiveness and desire for surgery. Having described this angular analysis, a quantitative evaluation was undertaken by incrementally altering the angle on an idealised profile image to create a range of images that were rated on a 7-point Likert scale by a pre-selected group of pre-treatment orthognathic patients, clinicians and laypeople. In treatment planning alterations in chin prominence, an ‘ideal’ sagittal position with soft tissue pogonion on or just behind a true vertical line through the most prominent point of the lower lip may be used. Chin retrusion or prominence up to an angle of 15° retrusion to −5° prominence is deemed acceptable. Surgery is desired from chin prominence of greater than −15° and retrusions greater than 25°. The greater the retrusion or prominence of the chin from an angle of 0°, the less the perceived attractiveness and the greater the desire for surgical correction.

Diagnostic classification for malocclusions with facial prognathism and its incorporation into mandibular morphological analysis

Since its introduction, the diagnostic classification for malocclusions with facial prognathism has been well recognized and practically applied in orthodontic specialty. According to this classification, the malocclusions with a prognathic facial profile can be categorized into 4 classes: dento-alveolar originated, skeletally originated, mandibular positioning and combined skeletal and mandibular positioning, i.e, combined subtype I and subtype II. Among the new developments of this innovative malocclusion classification, the morphological assessment of mandibular body highlights a new impetus. Other than measuring the angular and linear perimeters only, this new dogma focuses on evaluating the physical contours of the mandible through cephalometric images. It includes the determination of geometric morphology of the mandible and the depth of symphysis curvature. Two types of mandibular morphology are common in patients with facial prognathism: a favorable flat and horizontally rectangular body with a prominent chin; and a unfavorable thick and vertically triangular body with a retrusive chin. The depth of the symphysis, on the other hand, is shown to be shallow or deep. It is noted that the prognathism with mandibular retruded positioning has a flat mandible and unfavorable triangle-shaped mandible exists only in skeletal prognathism. This new classification restricts the extraction indications for malocclusions with a prognathic facial profile: extraction should be refrained in cases with increased overjet, overbite and deep curve of Spee, and SGTB orthopedic therapy, instead, is recommended.

Comparative evaluation of Tweed's analyses in Class I, Class II, and Class III participants of Central India: A pilot study

Objective: Comparative evaluation of Tweed's analyses in Class I, Class II, and Class III participants of Central India in two different age groups. Materials and Methods: Sample size comprised 240 participants belonged to Central India. Participants were divided into two main groups: Group I comprised 120 young children in the age group of 12–16 years and Group II comprised 120 young adults in the age group of 18–22 years. Tweed's analysis was performed from the collected sample. Results: The lower incisor inclination (incisor-mandibular plane angle [IMPA]) in Central India participants was higher (100.13°) compared to the original Tweed norm of IMPA 90°. Statistically higher value of IMPA was found in young male children compared to young female children in Class II div 1 and Class II div 2 participants and opposite trend was seen in Class III young adults. The Frankfort-mandibular plane angle was found to be significantly more in young adult females (24.93°) than males (18.07°) in Class III participants. Angle IMPA was found to be significantly higher in Class I compared to Class III participants and significantly higher in Class III compared to Class II div 2 participants. Conclusion: The differences of Tweed's parameters in this pilot study indicate that Caucasian norms cannot be truly adhered to Central India participants during orthodontic treatment. Lower incisors were normally more proclined in Central Indian participants and their over retraction during orthodontic treatment would cause prominent chin. Proclination of lower incisor was more in young male children compared to young female children in Class II div 1 and Class II div 2 participants and opposite trend was seen in Class III young adults. Class III female adults show tendency toward vertical growth pattern compared to males. Proclination of lower incisor was found to be more in Class I compared to Class III participants and more in Class III compared to Class II div 2 participants.

Further delineation of Malan syndrome.

Malan syndrome is an overgrowth disorder described in a limited number of individuals. We aim to delineate the entity by studying a large group of affected individuals. We gathered data on 45 affected individuals with a molecularly confirmed diagnosis through an international collaboration and compared data to the 35 previously reported individuals. Results indicate that height is > 2 SDS in infancy and childhood but in only half of affected adults. Cardinal facial characteristics include long, triangular face, macrocephaly, prominent forehead, everted lower lip, and prominent chin. Intellectual disability is universally present, behaviorally anxiety is characteristic. Malan syndrome is caused by deletions or point mutations of NFIX clustered mostly in exon 2. There is no genotype‐phenotype correlation except for an increased risk for epilepsy with 19p13.2 microdeletions. Variants arose de novo, except in one family in which mother was mosaic. Variants causing Malan and Marshall‐Smith syndrome can be discerned by differences in the site of stop codon formation. We conclude that Malan syndrome has a well recognizable phenotype that usually can be discerned easily from Marshall–Smith syndrome but rarely there is some overlap. Differentiation from Sotos and Weaver syndrome can be made by clinical evaluation only.

A cephalometric comparison of treatment effects and predictors of chin prominence in Class II Division 1 and 2 malocclusions with Forsus fatigue-resistant fixed functional appliance

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to cephalometrically evaluate and compare a treatment protocol in patients with Class II Division 1 (II/1) and Class II Division 2 (II/2), and to pursue predictors of the change in chin prominence. MethodsThis retrospective study included 30 patients with Class II/1 and 25 patients with Class II/2 treated with the Forsus appliance, in combination with fixed appliances. Pre- and posttreatment lateral cephalometric radiographs were collected, and 28 measurements were recorded. A two-sample t test was used for the pretreatment comparison among the two Divisions. Paired t tests were used to evaluate the treatment changes within each group. Analysis of covariance was used to compare the treatment changes between the Divisions after adjusting for the baseline value, age, gender, treatment duration, and time with the Forsus appliance. The Simes multiple testing procedure permitted adjustment for multiple comparisons. Regression analysis was performed to identify predictors explaining the change in chin prominence. ResultsClass II correction occurred in both Divisions, mainly through dentoalveolar effects. There were no significant cephalometric differences found in the mean treatment changes between the Divisions. The pretreatment Gonial angle, molar eruption, lower incisor inclination, mandibular body length, and soft tissue chin thickness had a significant impact on the treatment changes in chin prominence. ConclusionsTreatment with the Forsus in combination with preadjusted fixed appliances leads to a favorable treatment outcome and produces similar treatment changes in both Class II Divisions.

Orthodontic Clockwise Rotation of Maxillomandibular Complex for Improving Facial Profile in Late Teenagers with Class III Malocclusion: A Preliminary Report

Objective Orthodontic camouflage treatments improve occlusion but might worsen facial profile in patients with Class III malocclusion. It has been reported that surgical clockwise rotation of maxillomandibular complex (MMc) improves facial profile by reducing chin prominence and chin throat length in patients with Class III malocclusion. The purpose of this report was to illustrate two orthodontic techniques for clockwise rotation of the MMc in late teenagers with Class III malocclusion and preliminarily evaluate their clinical effects. Patients and Methods Six patients in late teenage with Class III malocclusion were included in this preliminary report. Bite raisers were first placed on the upper molars to open the bite and clockwise rotate the mandible. Intermaxillary elastics were then applied vertically between the upper and lower dentitions in 3 patients for bimaxillary extrusion (Technique-1) or between the upper dentition and the lower temporary anchorage devices (TADs) in another 3 patients (Technique-2) for upper dentition extrusion and closure of the anterior open bite. The three-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography images taken before and after orthodontic treatment were superimposed to evaluate the treatment effects of MMc clockwise rotation for both techniques. Results The Technique-1 extruded the upper and lower dentitions, rotated the mandible clockwise 2.01°, moved chin down 2.98 mm, and back −1.64 mm, although the mandible grew 2.47 mm during the treatment period. The Technique-2 extruded the upper dentition, rotated the mandible clockwise 0.90°, moved chin down 1.78 mm, but slightly forward 0.47 mm due to the mandible grew 2.50 mm and lower dentition was not extruded. Conclusions The orthodontic clockwise rotation of MMc is an effective technique for orthognathic camouflage. The applications of bite raisers and bimaxillary dentition extrusion could be more effective than single dentition extrusion with TADs in the mandible for clockwise rotation of MMc and improvement of occlusion and facial profile in late teenagers with Class III malocclusion. However, the comprehensive clinical effects and long-term stability need further clinical studies.
