case_images: Cephalometric analysis revealed a mild Class 3 skeletal relationship (ANB = 0 ) in centric occlusion, with a short midface length (Co - A = 71.5 mm) and a normal mandibular length (Go - Gn = 67.1 mm) (Figure 3).

case_images: The turbo material chosen was Triad  Gel, which is an acrylic resin liquid that is used traditionally to create bite plates and modify dental casts (Figure 4).
case_images: (a) Rubbing the facial and incisal surfaces with a self-etch adhesive L-Pop . (b) Applying the Triad  Gel with a microbrush. Alternatively, it can be applied with a repurposed flowable syringe. (c) Beveling the cured material lingually with a handpiece.

case_images: At the end of the treatment, the patient achieved positive overlapping of the anterior teeth (overjet = 4 mm), and his facial profile also was less concave (Figure 8).
