Does orthodontics make the cheekbones taller and the jawbones bigger? Because the tensile force make

Generally, the face shape should shrink back after orthodontics, and the age should be better.

The "high cheekbones" referred to in the question should refer to the "braces face", that is, the "high cheekbones and sunken face" that are felt during or after the correction of the teeth. In fact, this is a relative situation, the so-called "higher cheekbones" have many factors, of course, it is also an individual situation, not everyone who has orthodontics, will feel that the cheekbones have become higher. The main reasons for "high cheekbones" are:

1. After the correction of the teeth, the upper arch of the upper teeth will be adducted to the normal position, and the cheekbones will feel higher before the visual comparison; Similarly, patients with anti-teeth will also feel that their cheekbones are higher when they are corrected to the normal jaw position.

2. Improper tooth extraction or improper ** process makes the cheekbones look high. Improper removal of teeth that should not be extracted before orthodontic treatment, or due to the doctor's judgment of the orthodontic treatment plan, may cause the corners of the mouth to collapse, abnormal upper and lower jaws, etc., which may make the cheekbones appear high.

3. Orthodontics will change the relationship between teeth and jaws, because the change of chewing habits will also affect the direction and movement law of the entire maxillofacial muscles. For example, the masseter muscles will change, as will the cheek muscles and soft tissues.

4. It is difficult for some people to adapt to the aligners, and the wearing of the appliances will indeed cause obstacles to normal food intake and chewing. Normal nutrient intake can't keep up, and the cheeks will be relatively thin. This is also the reason why the legend says that orthodontics can be "**".

Of course, the faster the adaptation to the aligners, the weight loss cycle will be shortened.

In summary, the cheekbones do not grow or increase naturally physically, but are visualized, individualized, special or comprehensive factors. Maxillofacial deformities caused by malaligned or bony causes such as maxillary protrusion (buckteeth), crossbite, and bimaxillary protrusion are often accompanied by "high cheekbones", and orthodontic or orthognathic surgery is the most effective way to solve these facial defects.

Orthodontics includes a wide range of dismantling, usually refers to the process of repairing the uneven alignment of teeth, abnormal tooth morphology, and abnormal tooth color through oral technical means.

Whether the cheekbones can be improved by orthodontics mainly depends on what is the cause of the protrusion of your cheekbones, if it is caused by dental deformity, then it can be improved through surgical orthodontics.
