Does orthodontic teeth affect the width of the face?

1. Does orthodontic treatment affect the shape of the face?

When people have problems such as crooked teeth and buck teeth, the first thing we think about is orthodontics. Most clinical trials have shown that orthodontic teeth can affect a patient's appearance.

Generally speaking, after the orthodontic treatment, the patient's face shape will become beautiful, especially in patients with the sky, which is very obvious. Orthodontics will only improve your face shape, and on the contrary, if you don't do it in time, the patient's face shape will have more serious problems.

If the face shape is good, and the zygomatic arch is protruding, it is generally recommended to extract the back teeth; It is not recommended to remove the bicuspid teeth (the teeth behind the tiger teeth) if the upper jaw is not full, and the extraction site actually has a great impact on the face shape.

In most cases, the teeth move in a front-to-back direction, so the appearance of the side of the face changes. For example, in the case of tooth eruption, the lips will be easier to close after correction because the front teeth move backwards, and the front teeth will not be easy to expose, so the face will look better from both the side and the front.

Because of the degree of stability involved, orthodontic teeth generally do not change much in the width of the arch. Although in some juvenile cases, rapid palate dilation may be used to correct the narrow maxillary arch, but it should not have much impact on the width of the face.

2. What are the hazards of orthodontics?

Many people with crooked teeth will go for orthodontics, but you need to know that orthodontics is also a kind of plastic surgery, so there is a certain amount of ***. So, what are the main hazards of orthodontics? Next, let's take a look at the following article.

1. Loose teeth are one of the harmful manifestations of orthodontics, under normal circumstances, each tooth has a certain physiological mobility in order to buffer the chewing pressure and prevent teeth from being traumatized. It is normal to have an increase in tooth looseness during oral orthodontic treatment**. In order for the tooth to move, the alveolar bone and periodontal ligament need to be reconstructed, because the tooth is held in the alveolar bone by the periodontal ligament, so that the tooth becomes loose.

However, after the orthodontic teeth stop moving in their normal position, the teeth can be reattached to the periodontal ligament and become stable without permanent damage.

2. The harm of orthodontic treatment has an impact on the pulp. In the early stages of orthodontics, there is a mild, temporary inflammatory reaction within the pulp, which is manifested by pain or discomfort during the first few days of afterburner.

3. The harm of orthodontics also affects the height of alveolar bone. People who have done oral orthodontics, the height of the alveolar bone will be reduced slightly, which is due to the wearing of appliances makes oral hygiene difficult to maintain, increases the chance of gingivitis, and has a certain impact on the alveolar bone.

No, orthodontics will hardly affect the facial features, orthodontic treatment: there are many reasons, mainly including genetic factors and environmental factors.

Environmental factors include innate factors and acquired factors.

Congenital factors refer to the various influences that the fetus receives during the growth and development of the mother's womb, which may be the nutritional and metabolic disorders of the mother or the fetus, the mother's rubella or infection with viruses, the mother's trauma during pregnancy or birth trauma caused by childbirth.

Acquired factors refer to the effects that occur during growth and development after birth.

1) Diseases: Some acute infectious diseases, some chronic wasting diseases may affect the development of teeth and jaws. Endocrine dysfunction or malnutrition, especially vitamin deficiencies, may affect the development of teeth and jaws.

2) Abnormal breathing and swallowing function may affect the development of teeth and jaws.

3) Bad habits such as finger biting, upper lip biting or lower lip biting habits, tongue sticking out or sticking out tongue habits.

4) Problems in the deciduous or replacement period. Premature loss of baby teeth, delayed loss of baby teeth, premature loss of permanent teeth, disordered eruption of permanent teeth, etc., can cause misaligned teeth.

What are the dangers of crooked teeth.

First: Affect the appearance of the face.

Second: Crooked teeth can easily lead to unclean toothbrushing, so it is easy to develop caries and tartar, which affects the health of teeth and periodontals.

Third: Because the relationship between the upper and lower occlusion is not good, it will affect eating, reduce chewing function, increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, and thus affect physical health.

Fourth: Sometimes it can affect pronunciation.

Fifth: Some children and teenagers are ridiculed by their classmates or friends because their teeth are not good-looking, so they become inferior and affect their mental health.

Will there be any sequelae of orthodontics?

Orthodontic surgery is done through orthodontic or surgical procedures**malocclusion, the teeth will be slightly loosened during the movement of the force, but after a period of maintenance after the orthodontic treatment is completed, the alveolar bone around the teeth will be reconstructed, and the teeth will become as stable as before.

There may be some symptoms of loosening of the tooth, and when the alveolar bone around the root of the tooth is gradually resorbed for some reason, such as long-term periodontal disease, the tooth starts to loosen, and this loosening is pathological. The more alveolar bone resorption, the more loose the tooth; When the alveolar bone is completely resorbent, the tooth falls out. In China, the incidence of periodontal disease is more than 80%, and the main reason for the gradual loosening and loss of teeth in old age is periodontal disease.

In other words, loose teeth have nothing to do with orthodontics when people get older. In fact, the alignment of teeth after orthodontics is conducive to oral cleaning and can assist in periodontal disease. Thus, it can prevent loose teeth in old age, and generally speaking, orthodontic sequelae do not exist.

Orthodontic treatment will not cause any adverse effects on your teeth, and there will be no sequelae, as long as you go to a regular hospital for this diagnosis and follow the guidance of experts, I believe that your teeth will achieve satisfactory results.

Orthodontic teeth can have a certain impact on the shape of the face. If it is corrected by wearing braces or wearing braces, the impact on the face shape is relatively small, but due to the existence of braces, it affects the appearance. Of course, if there is large-scale orthodontic work such as tooth extraction and tooth bursting, it will have a certain impact on the face shape.

Orthodontics has little impact on your face shape, and in general, it can make your face shape look better, so it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for orthodontics. After correction, you should follow your doctor's instructions.

1 Orthodontics will have a little impact on a person's face shape to a certain extent, but this effect is not too great, so if you want to change your face shape through orthodontics, I am afraid that it will disappoint the patient, unless the patient has teeth. After this correction, the patient's face shape changes greatly from the side.

2 If you want to change the width of your face, orthodontic treatment will not be effective. Therefore, it is not credible to say that the TV stars say that their face shape is changed by orthodontic teeth, and most of them have undergone microplastic surgery.

3 Therefore, if a person's teeth need to be reshaped, go for a dental reshaping, but do not want to change the shape of the person's face through this dental reshaping, which will definitely disappoint the patient and is also an unwise choice. If you want to change the shape of your face, it is best to have a microplastic surgery.

From the front, the lips of people with buck teeth are very prominent, which affects the three-dimensional sense of the face.

There is such an idiom "lips die and teeth are cold", which fully shows that teeth have a great relationship with the outside skin, so the relationship between teeth and face shape is great, and the deformity of teeth will directly lead to the impact on the face shape, resulting in facial inharmony and affecting the appearance.

Viewed from the front, the lips of people with buck teeth are prominent, which affects the three-dimensional appearance of the face. From the side, the lip shape also has a great influence on the side appearance, there is a straight line between the tip of the nose and the chin, and the upper lip of the coordinated face shape should be on this line, and the lower lip should be 1-2mm in front of this line, so this line is also called the aesthetic line. If the upper and lower lips are positioned far away from the aesthetic line, then the protrusion of the lips will affect the personal appearance.

Therefore, people with deformed teeth will affect the shape of the person's face and affect the appearance of the person.

The position of the teeth can determine the protrusion of the lips and the height of the face, which can affect the three-dimensional appearance of a person's face. In patients with a deep bite, there is often a transverse ** fold between the lower lip and the chin, which is called the mental fossa, and the obvious characteristics can be called cross-sectional syndrome.

Conversely, some people have teeth that are so tall that the entire face appears long, and those with prominent features are called long-faced syndrome. There is also a common dental problem, buckteeth are the upper teeth are too forward, buckteeth push the lips forward, making the side appearance protruding, the upper and lower lips are difficult to close, seriously affecting the beauty of the side of the face. In some patients, the front teeth are too inverted, causing the corners of the mouth to collapse and look old.

It is true that there are many teeth, jaws, and craniofacial defects, and with correction, the face shape and proportions become more beautiful. It is definitely not sensational to say that it is comparable to plastic surgery. Orthodontics can change these places:

1.Improved side appearance.

Especially in the case of the ground and buckteeth, the protruding position of the lips will shrink from the side after correction, which will look more natural, and the face shape will look better from the side.

2.Improves the width and narrowness of the face.

In the case of some cases that require tooth extraction correction, the width of the face will change after the correction.

3.Improves face shape.

During the correction period, there will be inconvenience in eating, tooth pain and other effects, and due to the inconvenience of eating, pain and psychological pressure caused by the correction, people will become thinner, resulting in a thinner face.

Orthodontic teeth will definitely affect the shape of the face.

Orthodontics does have the effect of changing the face shape, because the range of orthodontic movement is the front and back direction, and the appearance of the side of the face is changed, among which the correction of the teeth is the most obvious change to the face shape, and the lips will become easier to close because the front teeth move backwards, and the front teeth are not easy to expose, so the face shape will be better looking no matter from the side or from the front.

If you think that you can change your face shape on a large scale after orthodontics, orthodontics is really not possible, we should not have facial plastic surgery, if orthodontics is to slim down the face, this practice is not advisable. It is important to understand that orthodontics cannot achieve the purpose of changing the shape of the face, because orthodontics cannot solve the width of the bones, and the width of the bones is determined by the width of the jawbone, and it is impossible for us to narrow the entire jawbone with orthodontics.

1. Plasticity of the jaw: The jaw, especially the alveolar bone, is one of the most active parts of the human skeleton. The reconstruction of the jaw includes two processes: hyperplasia and resorption, which are important physiological characteristics of the jaw and the basis of orthodontics, so the changes of the jaw in the orthodontic process are mainly the physiological process of the balance between osteoclasty and osteogenesis.

2. The compressive resistance of cementum is often only the absorption of alveolar bone under the same orthodontic force, but there is no or only a small amount of cementum absorption.

3. The stability of the environment in the periodontal ligament can be maintained after orthodontic treatment is completed, and the width between the periodontal ligament and the connection between the periodontal ligament and the alveolar bone and cementum can be restored to normal.

Parents often come to the clinic to ask about the child to start early correction related matters, when we explain the goal and process of **, many parents do not forget to add this sentence:Will the correction be done so early on the child's face shape? When Dr. Huang Huang hears this question, he is often confused, whether the face shape will be affected, how should he look at this matter?

Mouth breathing can cause malocclusion and crooked teeth

First of all, I think let's talk about the most common reasons why children need early correction intervention.

What many parents will notice is that their children's teeth are not aligned. When children start to change their teeth at about 7-8 years old, the new permanent teeth are much larger than the baby teeth, and many children will see a lot of teeth at this stage due to the lack of space in the gums, such as irregular alignment, crooked teeth, or tooth bursts.

Many parents ask their physicians why there is not enough space in the gums. Why is there no way to accommodate the neat arrangement of teeth in the gum space? Is this a congenital genetic factor or is it an acquired problem?

According to many current studies, most of this problem is related to children's mouth breathing habits. Because the mouth is open to breathe, the tongue cannot move effectively, and it cannot correctly help the growth and development of the gums, resulting in the narrowing of the dental arch, which in turn causes the alignment of the teeth.

Mouth breathing and face shape

Children who breathe in the mouth will have obvious facial features, so although they are children with different genes, as long as they have the habit of mouth breathing, their face shapes will be somewhat similar.

This part of the information was actually put forward very early in the textbooks of orthodontics.

Children who breathe in the mouth, because the lip muscles are relaxed, the cheek muscles are relaxed, so it looks like a narrow and long face, and there will also be a short chin, the chin is not developed enough, because the position of the chin is behind, it will also cause the pressure of the respiratory tract, so the space of the trachea will be relatively narrow, so that the breathing becomes unsmooth, which will affect the child's health.

Because you don't use your nose to breathe, your nose will usually be flattened or collapsed, and your cheeks will be flattened, and because your sinuses are not developed, you won't have the effect of apple muscles, and your face will look flatter and lack of dimension.

At the same time, because the lips are loose, in addition to the teeth are easy to burst out, it will also make people feel like a face shape with burst teeth.

Early correction with the child's face shape

When we use the early correction device to help the child to carry out **, we not only hope to make the child's teeth aligned, but also hope to change the face shape caused by mouth breathing, so that the development of the upper and lower jaw can be normalized, and the child's health and respiratory problems can be improved.
