A protrusion case with "really thick" lips
If there’s no ceph superimposition, you might guess the dramatic profile change was contributed by maximal retraction of the incisors.
Actually this case was treated by reciprocal space closure with double arch intrusion. After mandibular CCW rotation, we have the chance to bring the "E line" forward.
In this "really thick" lip case, the profile correction will be more effective by the combination of vertical and sagittal correction. Retraction of the incisors without paying attention to the vertical dimension could end up with poor lip response, especially for those with thick soft tissue.
The patient was happy about the dramatic change of profile and smile. Crown lenthening procedure was suggested before her final prosthesis.
