In the era of looking at faces, every woman is trying every means to make her face look better.
In addition to paying more and more attention to skin care and makeup, a more perfect face shape has also become the goal pursued by everyone.
Regarding face shape, the reference standard of “four high and three low” is commonly used in the medical and beauty field.
The index finger will not touch the lips after connecting the chin and nose, that is, it will look good, otherwise it will look ugly.
Don’t be too careful. It is said that it is a reference standard. Failure to meet the standard is not necessarily ugly.
However, since many stars with beautiful side faces mostly meet this standard, many people with lips [crossing the line] will still mind and worry about whether their noses are too flat.
In fact, it is also possible that your tooth problem has shortened your chin.
Might as well face the mirror, try the following action, personally verify it:
Bite your teeth after opening your mouth. If the part of the upper tooth covering the lower tooth exceeds 1/3 of the height of the tooth, you need to pay attention.
You may have a deep occlusion, which is medically called [deep occlusion].
Don’t understand? Let’s look directly at the picture:
Many people have slight deep overlap of teeth, which is often ignored because it is not as obvious as buck teeth.
Seen from the side, the chin of the person with deep overlap will be short, and the most protruding point of the lip will naturally [cross the line].
From the front, on the one hand, people with wide mandibular angle have large chewing power and are easy to form deep occlusion. On the other hand, deep overlap will make the masseter muscles on both sides of the cheek more developed and easier to form a [square face].
The solution to these problems is orthodontic treatment.
Orthodontic treatment can make some people more beautiful.
Orthodontic treatment is mainly for function and beauty, especially the latter. With the development of orthodontic technology to this day, [improving color value] has long become one of its important missions.
The improvement of face shape by orthodontics is mainly reflected in the side.
The main difference between human sides is concentrated in nose, lip and chin, which is exactly the part that orthodontics can change.
The arrangement of teeth and the beauty of mouth shape are interdependent.
Through orthodontic adjustment of tooth arrangement and position, many side [protruding outward] or [concave inward] face shapes can be significantly improved, allowing you to have a beautiful side face.
In addition, regarding various worries and doubts about orthodontics, we might as well look at the following answers:
Q: Will there be [braces] in orthodontics?
A: There is no medical statement about braces. Some people think it is aging and some think it is masticatory muscle atrophy, but what is certain is that not everyone has braces.
Q: Does orthodontics loosen teeth?
Answer: During orthodontic treatment, the loosening of teeth is only temporary. After the treatment is completed, the teeth will be completely wrapped by alveolar bone again and will not loosen.
Q: Can I still have orthodontic treatment when I am old?
Answer: Orthodontics is not limited by age. Adults can not only correct teeth, but also have some advantages over minors.
First of all, it has good compliance and can cooperate well with doctors for treatment. Naturally, the effect will be good.
Secondly, it has an economic foundation and can choose better orthodontic materials to achieve twice the result with half the effort. For example, it can choose invisible orthodontic treatment.
Q: How long does orthodontic treatment generally take?
Generally, the fixed orthodontic period is about 2 years, and the adult orthodontic period will be about half a year longer than that of teenagers.
Invisible correction generally takes 12-18 months, depending on personal circumstances. If orthodontic treatment is difficult, the treatment time will increase accordingly.
Orthodontics can also have a variety of options.
With the development of orthodontic technology, more and more materials and orthodontic methods are available to choose from.
At present, there are mainly 4 orthodontic methods: metal appliance, ceramic appliance, lingual appliance and invisible orthodontic without bracket.
1. Metal appliance
Commonly known as [Kouga], it is a traditional and standard fixed orthodontic method.
Advantages: mature technology and moderate price.
Disadvantages: [Kouga] Some are not beautiful and comfortable, and the requirements for daily brushing are relatively high after wearing.
2. Ceramic appliance
Similar to the principle of metal appliance, the front teeth are made of ceramic and the invisible back teeth are made of metal.
Advantages: The color of ceramic brackets is close to that of teeth, which is difficult to see without careful look.
Disadvantages: Compared with metal, ceramic materials are more expensive and brackets are easy to fall off.
3. Lingual correction
Metal brackets are still used, but the brackets stick to the inner side of the teeth, i.e. [lingual side], so it is called lingual correction.
Advantages: The appliance can no longer be seen outside, making it more beautiful.
Disadvantages: The price is relatively high, and it is possible to affect pronunciation and stimulate tongue.
4. Invisible orthodontic treatment without brackets
The emergence of invisible orthodontic technology is revolutionary and has had a profound impact on orthodontic technology.
The reason why it is called invisible correction is that invisible braces are used in the orthodontic process, which is almost invisible.
Advantages: Beautiful and comfortable, it can be temporarily removed when attending important activities, avoiding embarrassment and not affecting the correction effect.
There is no need to change the diet and brushing habits, just clean the braces like brushing your teeth, and no special cleaning care is needed.
Disadvantages: Because of private customization, the process cost will be higher and the price will be higher than the first three.
In a word, the above four orthodontic methods have their own advantages in treating different cases, and all have better orthodontic effects.
Before orthodontic treatment, it is the most important thing to fully communicate with doctors and choose the most suitable way.
