ABSTRACT
The lip brake is a fold in the oral mucosa, originating in the upper lip and insertion in the alveolar mucosa. At birth, the labial frenum may be inserted in the palatal papilla. As the individual grows, he can migrate to a more upper region, featuring a normal lip curl. However, when it remains inserted in the papilla, it is a case of hypertrophic lip curl. When pathological, this structure can promote the formation of interincisal diastema, periodontal pocket, gingival retraction, aesthetic problems, difficulties in phonation and brushing. The objective of this article is to report a clinical case of upper lip frenectomy using the double clamping technique or Archer technique, performed at the Oral Minor Surgery clinic of the Dentistry School of the Federal Fluminense University, in a male patient, leucoderma, 23 years old, indicated by his orthodontist after recurrence of interincisal diastema. From the procedure performed, it can be concluded that the surgical intervention and the applied technique were effective in solving the reported clinical case.
