Core Tip
Core Tip: This report describes the comprehensive management of a patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion and facial asymmetry. For such cases, it is critical to evaluate the patient’s chief complaints, skeletal as well as soft tissue problems. This case highlighted the importance and benefits of periodontal phenotype modification, which can prevent complications such as attachment loss of anterior teeth that compromise the treatment outcome. Corticotomy combined bone augmentation with or without gingiva augmentation, can not only increase the safety of treatment, but also stretch the limits of deformity correction.
