The frontal face may also be considered to require a good smile balance (line) on anterior teeth alignment, and a good upper lip contour, in orthodontic treatment outcomes. In this case report, four first bicuspid extractions were achieved and the results obtained satisfied the patients' main complaints of initial protrusive lips and difficulty in lip closing.
