[Labial balance].
The labial balance appreciated by statics and movement is the guarantee of morphology, bilabial competence and symmetry in function (ou bien in movement?). The restoration of the lips aims for this balance, the basic axiom is "to repair the lip by the lip". Three main technical forms meet these requirements: forward movement, rotation and transposition.
