Abstract
Temporary skeletal anchorage devices were used to correct the gummy smile of a 27-year-old woman. She was also missing her maxillary left second molar and mandibular right central incisor. Her mandibular anterior missing space was closed with orthodontic treatment. Her occlusion, smile esthetics, dental midline, and soft tissue profile were significantly improved after her orthodontic treatment. A 2-year follow-up showed that the patient had a stable occlusion and the results of the orthodontic treatment were maintained.
