The Lip Factor and Orofacial Analysis by Dr. Kyle Stanley

Throughout the years, esthetic dentistry has used teeth and gums only when designing smiles. We as dental professionals must remember to treatment plan with our patients' entire faces in mind. Dr. Stanley will introduce a paradigm shift in esthetic treatment planning where we can incorporate minimally invasive procedures through the Digital Smile Design technique to give our patients a youthful lower face, better incisal display, and treatment plan with an Orofacial approach.

Learning Objectives:

Learn the Lip Factor technique to restore aging and over-augmented lips to an ideal youthful position
Learn how to treatment plan with an Orofacial approach
Treatment plan with new facial midline known as Facial Flow
