Many people look like a bulging mouth, mainly because the dental arch is short and the amount of teeth is so large that the teeth are crowded and cannot be aligned, and the upper row of teeth bulges outward, forming a protruding mouth.
This kind of protruding mouth needs to be extracted and improved by correcting and adjusting the dental arch, but not all protruding mouths are caused by dental arches, and we need to find the right cause and prescribe the right medicine.
Today, Ernie will teach you some self-test methods to determine whether your protruding mouth and buckteeth need orthodontics. However, the self-test method can only assist in making a rough judgment.
If you want to know if you need orthodontics, the most accurate way is to go to the hospital for a consultation.
Wake upIf you want to do orthodontics and don't know how to choose a local dental hospital and doctor, you can first use the following National Oral Self-service Inquiry System] to check, the system will automatically screen the appropriate dental hospital doctors in your location, and the friends who need it will pick it up with one click, and have a bottom in mind after querying.
A professional orthodontist will accurately measure the condition of your teeth and analyze them to come up with the most accurate results and recommendations. A large part of the reason for the effectiveness of orthodontics is also due to the skill and operation of the doctor.
As the saying goes, "a beauty has three bucks", that is to say, a slight bucktooth protrusion does not affect her appearance, and can even add points to her appearance, for example, the Hong Kong-style beauty Qiu Shuzhen has a bit of buck teeth and a protruding mouth, plus her chin is very small, which is a typical "small jaw".
This would have been a lot of buckteeth, but fortunately, her chin did not recede, and the slight buckteeth added a lot of color to her, and showed the fullness of her lips.
Another example is the well-known Wang Zuxian, which is also very typical."The beauty is divided into three pointsThere is a tendency to smile a little gummy when laughing, which is actually due to the tilt of the lips caused by the protruding upper front teeth.
However, it can be seen from this picture that her facial features are well proportioned, especially the influence of the protruding mouth in the eyes, which is more distinctive.
But you must pay attention to the "three points" of the focus is on the "three points", only a slight buck teeth protruding mouth can be the icing on the cake for the beauty, once the degree of the buck teeth and protruding mouth exceeds three points, no matter how beautiful the facial features can not be neutralized.
Therefore, to judge whether you need to do correction, you need to consider the adaptability of the facial features, if the chin recession is more serious or the mouth protrusion causes the nasolabial folds to aggravate and affect the appearance, then you can consider going to the hospital for orthodontic improvement.
Bone problems and dental problems can cause a bulging mouth, so everyone should be precise about their problems.
Dental protrusion is caused by the outward protrusion of the teeth, that is, buckteeth, which need to be corrected by a professional orthodontist, and wear braces according to the doctor's plan, and it will not take a few years to adduct and align the teeth.
On the other hand, the bony oral protrusion is caused by the protrusion of the alveolar bone, which causes the natural phenomenon of open lips and teeth, and has little to do with the teeth.
Therefore, if you have a protruding mouth, don't think that orthodontics can solve all problems, but still determine what kind of cause it is, and then prescribe the right medicine. For example, a simple bony protruding mouth cannot be improved by orthodontics, and it needs to be solved in combination with orthognathia.
There are many ways to judge bone or dental, and Ernie also teaches you some simple self-test methods, you can refer to it:
The maxillary alveolar bone is overdeveloped and protruding outward, which can be seen from the appearance.
If your upper front incisors are not inclined at a large angle, or even very neat, but still protrude through the mouth, it is likely that the mouth is bony protrusion.
Another way is to tap your finger between the nose and the lips, if you feel that the alveolar bone in the lips is protruding and hard, but the teeth are not protruding, it is a bony mouth protrusion.
There is a concept of human aesthetics called "three courts and five eyes", which is to look at the coordination of the face through the proportion of the front, and the method that Ernie said is to judge the coordination of the side face by measuring the angle between the nose and the lips.
As shown in the figure below, the angle between the upper lip and the tip of the nose is generally called the nasolabial angle, and generally speaking, this nasolabial angle is between 85°-95°.
If it is a dental protruding mouth, then the tip of the upper lip will also protrude, and the angle between the nose and lips will become smaller, if it is less than 90°, it can be basically judged as a dental mouth process, and the smaller the angle, the greater the degree of mouth protrusion.
If you want to do orthodontic treatment but don't know whether you are dental or bony, you must go to the hospital for a face-to-face consultation, and the doctor will measure the data and angle of SNA and SNB according to the lateral CT film, and comprehensively calculate the proportion of the components of the mouth process, and then design the orthodontic plan.
If your mouth protrusion is more severe, or you have high requirements for the effect of orthodontics, then you must find a skilled doctor, so that the final effect can be guaranteed.

If orthodontics are needed to improve the aesthetics and appearance of your teeth, there is no doubt that the cost is a big concern.
Generally speaking, the cost of orthodontics in China is relatively large, about 5k-5w. There is a reason why there is such a big difference, after all, many factors can affect the treatment of orthodontics
In addition to the metal braces that everyone is more familiar with, there are now several kinds of braces such as ceramic braces, ** braces, lingual braces, etc., and the characteristics and ** are also different.
Metal braces are the most widely used, and they are also the cheapest, generally in5k-1.5wIf the tooth deformity is more severe, it will be higher. This kind of braces is more common in minors, and if you are a college student or office worker, you may find it unsightly and have a strong sense of foreign body.
The ceramic braces are its advanced version, the metal brackets are replaced with ceramic materials, and the color is closer to the real teeth, so it is also called".Semi-braces",* Probably1.5w-2.5wBetween.
* Braces abandon brackets and steel wires, and transparent braces made of polymer materials can also achieve the effect of correction, but the wearing cycle will be longer than the first two, and ** more expensive3w-4.5wIt is not the same, but the braces are more aesthetically pleasing and are the first choice for many white-collar workers.
Lingual braces are more popular in Europe and the United States, and there are also some celebrities in China who wear them, such as Wang Jiaer who wears lingual braces. This kind of braces puts the brackets on the inside of the teeth, and as long as the mouth is not large, the braces will not be exposed, which is very**. But its technology is more cutting-edge, and it is more expensive, generally in 4w+.
Ernie himself summarized some differences between public hospitals and private hospitals, you can refer to them:
Attention!The private hospitals here do not include roadside private clinics, but large, formal specialized dental hospitals, most of which are national chains, and most of them are on the same level as public hospitals in terms of medical environment and resources.
According to Ernie know, most people don't know about private hospitals and think that private hospitals are expensive and unreliable, but this is actually a misunderstanding.
Compared with public hospitals, such as difficult times, slow queuing, and high fees, private hospitals have low fees, convenient appointments, and a good medical experience, which is a good choice for most orthodontics, but it is necessary to pay attention to whether private dental hospitals are reliable.
To judge whether a private dental institution is reliable, we must first know whether the hospital has a formal business license, and secondly, we need to comprehensively consider the scale of the hospital, how the hospital environment is, whether the medical facilities are complete, and how the feedback is. The best way is to compare a few more, after all, "shop around", and you won't suffer a loss!
