The novel perio esthetic technique (mdr technique) for frenectomy in patients with post orthodontic relapse- a case report

The frenum is defined as the muco membraneous fold that attaches the lip and the cheek to alveolar mucosa, gingival and underlying periosteum. This frenum can jeopardize the aesthetically appealing post orthodontically if neglected. P.D. Miller in 1985 proposed the “ millers technique” for orthodontic cases, also added the ideal time to perform this surgery is 6 weeks prior to the removal of appliances. There are reported cases of post orthodontic relapse if this frena is ignored and also no technique has been advocated exclusive for cases with post orthodontic relapse. This present case report adds on light on the newly proposed technique i.e MDR technique which is a combination of paralleling technique and a whale tail technique.
