Adult interdisciplinary treatment and the orthodontic management of gummy smile
More and more adults are referred daily to orthodontic specialists for interdisciplinary care. Inter-disciplinary therapy can improve the quality of the final treatment outcome by the synergy of different disciplines working consecutively with a strict coordination. Orthodontic treatment is always more requested in interdisciplinary care as it can allow to reach higher standards of results thanks to the improvement of the condition of the periodontal tissues and the possibility of using less destructive restorative procedures. By aligning and leveling the arches, repositioning the periodontal tissues, distributing the spaces through tooth movement, the orthodontist enhances the work of the prosthodontist and the implantologist to realize a better rehabilitation, both from a functional and an esthetic perspective. The lecture will cover in particular the often encountered problem of excessive gingival display, highlighting the differential diagnosis and the orthodontic indications and procedures to treat this condition with successful aesthetic outcome.
