The Impact of Orthodontic Treatment on Soft Tissue Profile: A Comprehensive Review
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Soft tissue changes following orthodontic treatment play a significant role in determining facial esthetics. Understanding the impact of various treatment modalities, especially premolar extractions and different growth patterns, is essential for predicting outcomes. This review compiles findings from recent studies to analyse how orthodontic interventions affect soft tissue profiles, emphasizing factors like lip position, facial convexity, and nasolabial angle. Additionally, it evaluates the role of patient-specific characteristics, treatment duration, and retention strategies in influencing long-term results.
