As the saying goes, "spread rumors with one mouth, refute rumors and break your legs", the orthodontist shouted to you and told you that there would be no braces in orthodontics, but you didn't believe it. The tooth is so "ugly" that I can't bear to look at it directly, so I just don't straighten it. If you think your teeth are ugly, it's better than having braces after correction.
I don't know why, there are always people who believe these "rumors" inexplicably. At this time, the orthodontist who was constantly refuting the rumors was already angry.
Now, let's sort out another article, "Orthodontics will not have braces face", please orthodontic patients silently recite this sentence three times.
First of all,Orthodontics – a well-established form of oral adoption
Orthodontic technology has been developed in China for decades, and clinical technology has also been developed rapidly, accumulating more orthodontic experience. With the gradual increase in the number of correction people every year, the application of correction is becoming more and more extensive. And under normal operation, the risk of the process is low, and there is no inevitable connection between orthodontic treatment and the appearance of braces.
So why do you have braces after correction? Take a look below!
Age factor
According to research, most of the patients who feel that they have braces after correction are generally women over 20 years old. Because as we age, facial fat and collagen decline, and the elasticity is not as high as the peak of puberty. In particular, the sagging of the zygomatic fat pad, an important supporting structure of the face, is shifted downward, and the most obvious manifestations of the laxity of these structures are the depression in the middle of the face, the protrusion of the zygomatic arch, and the deepening of the nasolabial folds.
Some people have to last 2-3 years for orthodontic treatment, and when it is over, it is easy to blame the normal changes in the face on the braces, but adolescent patients wear braces but there is almost no "braces face" trouble.
But don't worry too much, as the chances of this happening are low.
.Masticatory muscle atrophy
After wearing braces, the masticatory muscle system will degenerate due to the strong discomfort of the teeth or the change in the bite relationship. And this degradation is one of the main reasons for the formation of "braces face". In addition to the masseter muscles on both sides of the jaw, there are also temporal muscles in the temple area.
.Corrective programs and methods
Based on the face shape of Oriental people, there is a high proportion of patients who need tooth extraction correction to solve buckteeth. Tooth extraction correction can adduct the anterior teeth to achieve the effect of adducting the lips, but sometimes too much tooth extraction and retraction will cause the face to be overdeflated, and it will look slightly old, showing a "braces face".
Therefore, there is no necessary connection between braces and orthodontics, and mild braces can be restored after orthodontics.
If you are worried about the appearance of braces during the correction period, you can do more correct masseter muscle training during the correction period, or make a suitable correction plan under the advice of the doctor, which can avoid the braces face to a large extent.
