Evaluation of soft tissue changes around the lips after bracket debonding using three-dimensional stereophotogrammetry.
CONCLUSIONS: There was a slight retrusion in the oral commissure and lower lip areas after debonding, but no changes were found in the upper lip area. This study showed that 3-D stereophotogrammetry can be useful in evaluating facial soft tissue changes in orthodontic patients.
