Abstract
Three patients are presented in whom retropositioning of the anterior upper teeth resulted in accelerated aging of the face. Two basically different approaches to correct these bad results are illustrated. It is shown that onlaying of the maxillary base is insufficient but can be the only solution possible. Reversing the primary procedure seems much more effective. The technique, however, can be very demanding.
