Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Severe skeletal retrognathia may lead to a pronounced labiomental fold. When severe the labiomental fold may result in intertrigo, which is chronic and symptomatic. This problem can be managed by orthodontics and orthodontic surgery to reposition the jaw at a more anterior direction, thus creating a normal lip posture and a normal labiomental fold.
