Abstract
Traditionally, orthodontic diagnosis and treatment have primarily involved the assessment of skeletodental relationships, with a particular focus on the mandibular dentition. Recently the focus has shifted towards the maxillary incisors as a starting point for facial esthetics with growing demands for facial esthetics. Three-dimensional maxillary incisor position (MIP) plays a pivotal role in improving facial esthetics in smiling and resting positions. With the advent of miniscrews, biomechanical force application in orthodontic treatment has become simpler due to absolute anchorage. Miniscrews allow clinicians to move teeth more precisely and easily in three dimensions according to the treatment plan, which was challenging or impossible with conventional biomechanics. Therefore, MIP using miniscrews should be a starting point for esthetic treatment planning.
