RESUMEN
Inadequate maxillary incisor display can negatively impact facial esthetics. Various treatment options exist depending on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. Skeletal anchorage was used to extrude the maxillary dentition and rotate the mandible backward, enhancing visibility of the maxillary incisors. An extrusion assembly was introduced to achieve orthodontic extrusion. Use of bite raisers and interarch elastics was also discussed. Treatment results demonstrated successful achievement of the treatment goals. In addition to optimal occlusion, the patient's facial profile improved with increased lip fullness. There was an increase in vertical facial height, and maxillary incisor display was significantly improved, resulting in a more pleasant smile. Two-year postretention records evidenced the stability of total arch extrusion to improve maxillary incisor display.
