[Possibilities of dental compensation of skeletal orthodontic defects in relation to aesthetic aspects of the lips].

The author describes a practical method of reconstruction of the position of the incisors and its influence on aesthetic aspects of the lips in patients treated on account of serious orthodontic defects. Before treatment is started it is necessary to analyze the condition of the dentition and the patient's profile. When selection the therapeutic plan, we have to determine the future position of the incisors and predict the influence of the new position of the incisors on the patient's profile. The author describes the procedure during reconstruction of the position of the incisors and the mutual position of the lips. Without prediction of changes of the profile it is not possible to predict whether orthodontic treatment will not cause deterioration of the patient's profile.
