Can orthodontics change face shape

summary

I always feel that my face shape is not good-looking, and my teeth also have some problems. I see that many stars on the Internet will change their face shape after orthodontic treatment. I also want to do orthodontic treatment to see if I can change my face shape. Now let's see if orthodontics can change face shape.

Can orthodontics change face shape

First: in many cases of orthodontic cases, the range of tooth movement is in the front and back direction, so the appearance of the face side changes the most. For example, in the case of overdenture, it is easier to close the lips because the incisors move backward, and the incisors are not easy to expose. Therefore, the face shape will be better viewed from the side or the front. Because of the stability involved in the future, the width of dental arch is not changed much. Although some teenagers may adopt rapid maxillary expansion to correct the narrow maxillary arch, it should not have much influence on the improvement of facial width.

Second: as we all know, most people think that children's face shape will change more after tooth preparation than adults, but the main reason is growth and development. Even if a teenager doesn't receive orthodontic surgery, his face shape will change because of the growth and development of bone and soft tissue. But in this short period of time, orthodontists can use functional appliances or extraoral devices to change the direction and degree of jaw growth to achieve the purpose of changing face shape.

Third: in fact, it has always been the goal of orthodontists to make patients have a more beautiful face after treatment. We hope that every patient can have a bright smile. Therefore, the whole tooth will change the face shape more or less. However, if you want to change the shape of the face and teeth, it is not wise.
