The keys to successful treatment are to obtain a proper diagnosis of the problem and the interdisciplinary team which is needed to treat the patient.

After five years and eight months under the treatment, the patient’s malocclusion was corrected. Gingival enlargement was successfully corrected, before and during orthodontic treatment by gingivectomy.
