In this comprehensive lecture, I will delve into the intricate relationship between molars' vertical positioning and final facial aesthetics. With an exploration of procedures involving TADs, I will demonstrate innovative methods for managing vertical dimensions, rotating occlusal planes, and ensuring optimal final esthetics. Emphasis is also placed on the significance of biomechanical strategies to flatten the deep curve of Spee in various facial patterns, highlighting its profound impact on vertical dimensions. Furthermore, the lecture delves into the nuanced topic of smile esthetics, offering a biomechanical approach to treatment: be it a gummy smile in a class II or limited upper incisal display in a class III patient. A focal point is the deliberate counterclockwise rotation of the jaw in Class II patients with a steep mandibular plane to achieve ideal facial proportions. Throughout the presentation, scientific evidence underscores each aspect, providing a comprehensive understanding of the biomechanical considerations essential to achieve optimal facial esthetics.
