Is this considered as a gummy smile? Does it mean I can get maxillary impaction

[Slyfex8]

Average smile

Very wide smile

Is this actually considered as a gummy smile? If so lifefuel for my soon to come CCW bimax tbh

No, judging by your normal smile.

I kind of lift up my face muscles a lot when I smile too, like my eyes would dissapear and my cheekbones would lift up like crazy

No

Why do you want anterior impaction? iirc you already have a compact face. You don't want it to be any shorter or you will look like a low T punchable roblox player.

I can guarantee my face only looks short on these partial pics when I smile, the whole neutral face is definitely a long, narrow face case with steep occlusal plane and skeletal class II

 

[Slyfex8]

No

So let's say I need a CCW for a steep occlusal plane. Does it means anterior impact would not be possible at all and that any impaction would need to be done at anterior maxilla?

Nah, its good bro

 

[ChristianChad]

I don't understand the replies on this thread :/

Anyway you definitely need more forward growth and CCW

The majority would probably be via moving the pns down, but looking at all the various relationships with a ceph is needed to know for sure. How steep is your occlusal plane in degrees (if you know it), how much of a rotation do you need?

Man those teeth are yellow. Yuck.

Haven't got any scans yet so it's hard to answer yet.

I plan to do an online consult with Ramieri when I will have the 15k needed for his trimax so we can move fast after that first online consult.

I am a skeletal class II but got camouflage orthodontics (rubber bands but no extractions) like 3 years ago. So my bite is currently class I.

My face currently looks convex and my gonial angle is definitely on the shorter side. I hope on my likely steep occlusal plane to get a CCW thus allowing more BSSO movement without advancing as much the maxilla. The idea would be to avoid a new 1 year or more of orthondontics to decompensate my bite basically...

Sounds doable as long as you need a substantial rotation
