Simple tooth alignment cannot change the facial shape, but if you have undercrofted teeth, buck teeth, deep overbite, partial jaw, etc., you can achieve a certain shape through dental correction. of improvement effect.

If you feel that your face shape is not standard enough, you should first check with a doctor to determine whether the cause of the concave or convex shape of your face is dental or bony. For some people, it is dental, which is caused by abnormal tooth protrusion; And some people have skeletal disease, which is caused by overdevelopment or underdevelopment of the jaw bone.

If it is dental, then orthodontics can achieve the effect of changing the face shape; if it is skeletal or both dental and skeletal, simply straightening the teeth will be effective, but it will not bring about much change. , you still need to ask a professional doctor to make a judgment based on your own facial condition.

You must know that the mandible, zygomatic bones, and soft tissues of the lips and cheeks are the main forces that support the contours of the human face. In fact, orthodontic treatment has relatively little change in the front face shape, but the change in profile is. "Earth-shaking".

By adjusting the position and arrangement of the teeth and affecting changes in the shape of the muscles and soft tissues of the adjacent lips and cheeks, the original convex or concave mouth shape can be improved.

When the teeth are retracted, the chin and nose will visually appear to be straighter. Therefore, after orthodontic correction, people will have the illusion of plastic surgery.

For example, if the front teeth are crossbited (the front teeth are overbite), it is easy to look like the chin is not three-dimensional enough, and it is also easy for the entire face to become what people call a "pig kidney face." Through correction, the lower front teeth can be pulled back or the upper front teeth can be pushed out to normalize the bite. This change in facial shape is obvious!

Another example is buck teeth, which are not only unsightly, but also make you look older and prone to nasolabial folds. Through tooth extraction correction, the upper and lower teeth can be retracted and the lips drawn inward. In this way, the chin and bridge of the nose will appear more upturned, and the side will look more three-dimensional.

Then there is a deep overbite. The overbite is too deep. When viewed from the side, the lower half of the face is too short and the chin is retracted, resulting in a short face. After dental correction, the bite can be improved and the lower face shape can be corrected. .

The same is true for partial jaws. Due to reasons such as broken or missing teeth on one side, you have been eating on one side for a long time. As the saying goes, use it or lose it, so your face becomes larger on one side and smaller on the other. Teeth correction can also improve the size of the face and make the face more harmonious.
