Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

patients suffering from anterior vertical maxillary excess that requires surgical intervention

Exclusion criteria

total vertical maxillary excess Excessive horizontal maxillary excess Patients with systemic diseases that may affect normal bone healing

Treatment and study plan

Corticotomy followed by compression osteogenesis

Procedure

Surgical corticotomy supra apical in anterior maxilla then application of the compression osteogenesis concept via traction on miniscrews implanted above the corticotomy line

Primary outcomes

Measuring amount of vertical impaction of anterior maxilla after performing labial maxillary cotricotomy and activation of functional loading

Time frame: 3 months

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.
