Abstract
Patient: A 35-year-old male complained of poor esthetic appearance caused by reversed occlusion of anterior teeth. Inclination of the maxillary anterior teeth and depression of the anterior alveolar region were observed. Orthodontic treatment and surgical orthodontic treatment were performed with the diagnosis of reversed occlusion due to maxillary undergrowth. All-ceramic crowns were placed as a final restoration on the anterior teeth and an implant.
Discussion: After implant placement, optimal modification of the maxillary anterior teeth axis and dental implant position by surgical orthodontic treatment effectively improved the esthetic appearance, mastication and articulation.
Conclusion: Good esthetic appearance was obtained as a result of surgical orthodontic treatment and prosthetic restoration for this case which required improvement of dentition including the alveolar process.
