Can I change my face shape after orthodontics? Which face shapes have changed a lot? Which face shapes will not be changed? In response to this series of problems, today I will give you a little popular science, which is all dry goods.
First of all, the impact of orthodontics on the shape of the face is only the lower third of the face, that is, from the bottom of the nose to the tip of the chin.
There are five types of people who change their teeth.
1 Protruding buckteeth in the mouth.
The mouth is often accompanied by crowded teeth, and with age, the mouth is more and more serious, and the mouth is not able to close naturally, and some are accompanied by severe deep closure, causing pain and inflammation.
2 Deep overclosure and retraction of the lower jaw.
The upper teeth cover too much of the lower teeth, and the lower jaw is retracted, and the joints are snapping and painful in severe cases.
3 Crossbite (ground envelope).
In the natural state, the teeth are occluded, and the upper teeth are on the inside of the lower teeth, or they are cut to the other; Some have a moon face, which affects the face shape, and may cause a decrease in chewing function and affect pronunciation in the long run.
4 The chin is retracted.
The chin is short, and some are accompanied by mouth breathing, and due to the abnormal position of the jaw, complications such as difficulty chewing, joint snapping, and pain may occur.
5 Partial jaw.
The midline is uneven, the back teeth bite one side deep, one side opens, and the face shape becomes a large and small face and a crooked face for a long time.
Why can orthodontics change the shape of the face?
Because orthodontics can adjust the position, angle and occlusal relationship of the teeth, when the alveolar bone is reconstructed, the bone shape will change to a certain extent, and the face shape will naturally change.
However, orthodontics changes the shape of the face from person to person, so don't mess with your teeth in order to become beautiful. Whether you have a straight tooth or not, you should ask a professional first, so that you can rest assured.
