Evaluation of Surgical Correction of Anterior Vertical Maxillary Excess (Gummy Smile) by Compression Osteogenesis.

Evaluation of Surgical Correction of Anterior Vertical Maxillary Excess (Gummy Smile) by Compression.

The technique of compression osteogenesis will be studied to verify its value as applied to manage anterior vertical maxillary excess in patients wohm are suffering from gummy smile.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Measuring amount of vertical impaction of anterior maxilla after performing labial maxillary cotricotomy and activation of functional loading	Measuring amount of linear impaction (in millimeters) to evaluate validity of compression osteogenesis in treating gummy smile of a skeletal etiology ( due to increased anterior maxilla height) after performing labia maxillary corticotomy and activating functional loading using power chain elastics anchored on transmucosal mini- screws.	3 months
