Will wearing braces change my face shape?

Nowadays, more and more friends need teeth correction. Because everyone's teeth are not corrected in time when they are developing, the teeth will become very untidy, and may even cause the overall appearance of the teeth to be ugly. Wearing condoms can not only change the face shape, but also make the overall facial features look better.

Will wearing braces change your face shape?

The facial shape changes caused by growth of patients in the growth and development period are beyond the control of dental doctors. In most cases of orthodontic treatment, the range of tooth movement is in the front-to-back direction, so the appearance of the side of the face changes significantly. For example, in the case of buck teeth, the lips will be easier to close because the front teeth move backwards, and the front teeth will be less likely to be exposed. Therefore, the face shape will be better whether viewed from the side or from the front.

Orthodontic treatment for the purpose of face slimming will not achieve the desired effect because the correction cannot solve the bone problem.

The relationship between orthodontics and face shape

Simply correcting teeth cannot change the width of the bones. The width of the bones is determined by the width of the jaw. It is impossible for us to make the entire jaw narrower by correcting teeth. Some patients may feel that their face seems thinner after orthodontic treatment, but in fact the width of their bones has not changed.

Some people also say that their face will be less fat after having their wisdom teeth removed, but in fact this effect is minimal. Because in addition to the mandibular angle bone, there is also a piece of soft tissue on it, and the soft tissue also has a certain thickness. If it protrudes a little, it won't be so obvious, and if it decreases a little, it won't shrink back much, so this actually doesn't solve the problem.
