Class III elastics were worn from the maxillary molars to the bar, fitting the miniscrews between the incisors and canines, and a facemask was used only at night. Soft tissue effects were assessed using lateral radiographs and standardized profile photographs before (T1) and after (T2) treatment. Measurements were obtained with Dolphin software. The Wilcoxon paired test compared changes, and Pearson correlation assessed the association between incisor position and nasolabial angle.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n The final sample included 17 subjects (mean age: 12.3 years, SD = 1.2). Lip position and H.NB angle increased significantly (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < .05), whereas the nasolabial angle and facial convexity decreased (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < .05). A negative correlation was observed between the nasolabial angle and upper incisor position (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < .05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Miniscrew-anchored maxillary protraction improved the facial profile by reducing concavity. Upper incisor advancement was associated with a decrease in the nasolabial angle, confirming the influence of dental movement on soft tissue balance.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2319\/092825-804.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,21]],"date-time":"2026-03-21T01:02:25Z","timestamp":1774054945000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Facial profile and nasolabial angle-upper incisor relationship: effects of miniscrew-anchored maxillary protraction therapy in adolescents"],"prefix":"10.2319","author":[{"given":"Silvia Am\u00e9lia Scudeler","family":"Vedovello","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor, Department of Health Sciences and Pediatric Dentistry, Orthodontics, Piracicaba School of Dentistry, Universidade Estadual de Campinas-UNICAMP, Piracicaba, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carolina Fernandes","family":"Tozzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PhD Student, Department of Health Sciences and Pediatric Dentistry, Orthodontics, Piracicaba School of Dentistry, Universidade Estadual de Campinas-UNICAMP, Piracicaba, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J\u00falia Teresa","family":"Nunes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MsC Student, Department of Orthodontic, Herm\u00ednio Ometto Foundation-FHO, Araras S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fernando Rayes","family":"Manh\u00e3es","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor, Department of Orthodontics, Herm\u00ednio Ometto Foundation-FHO, Araras S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helo\u00edsa Cristina","family":"Valdrighi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor, Department of Orthodontics, Herm\u00ednio Ometto Foundation-FHO, Araras S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gabriela G.","family":"Innocent","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PhD Student, Department of Morphology and Child Clinic, Araraquara Dental School, Universidade Estadual Paulista-UNESP, Araraquara, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carolina Carmo","family":"de Menezes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor, Department of Morphology and Child Clinic, Araraquara Dental School, Universidade Estadual Paulista-UNESP, Araraquara, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1164","container-title":["The Angle Orthodontist"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/angle-orthodontist.kglmeridian.com\/view\/journals\/angl\/aop\/article-10.2319-092825-804.1\/article-10.2319-092825-804.1.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/angle-orthodontist.kglmeridian.com\/downloadpdf\/journals\/angl\/aop\/article-10.2319-092825-804.1\/article-10.2319-092825-804.1.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/angle-orthodontist.kglmeridian.com\/downloadpdf\/journals\/angl\/aop\/article-10.2319-092825-804.1\/article-10.2319-092825-804.1.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,25]],"date-time":"2026-03-25T02:41:11Z","timestamp":1774406471000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/angle-orthodontist.kglmeridian.com\/view\/journals\/angl\/aop\/article-10.2319-092825-804.1\/article-10.2319-092825-804.1.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,24]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2319\/092825-804.1","relation":{},"ISSN":["1945-7103","0003-3219"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1945-7103","type":"electronic"},{"value":"0003-3219","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,24]]}}}
