Abstract
Discrepancy in the labial gingival margin of the maxillary incisors poses a major aesthetic problem. Orthodontic extrusion can improve the aesthetic problem caused by gingival margin levels before restoration. In these case reports, orthodontic extrusion was performed with palatal circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy for improving the discrepancy of the labial gingival margin. Two years postoperatively, the position of the tooth and gingival margin remained stable. Orthodontic extrusion with palatal circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy was effective in improving the discrepancy of the labial gingival margin of maxillary incisors.Entities:
