Girl with ugly side face

In life, some people have particularly pleasing face shapes. This kind of face shape is called a perfect face, which means that their faces are particularly perfect no matter from which angle you look at them, and they give people a good-looking feeling when taking pictures from any angle. However, some people's face shapes may look very beautiful when viewed from the front, but become uglier when viewed from the side. So why are side faces so ugly?

How does a protruding mouth occur?

A protruding mouth is a type of dentofacial deformity, also known as buck teeth and convex face in medicine. In fact, the symptoms of protruding mouth are caused by the protruding maxilla and the short and retracted mandible. Mouth protrusion is similar to most dentofacial deformities. The cause and pathogenesis have not yet been elucidated, but it is mainly caused by congenital genetic factors and acquired factors.

Good habits. Acquired bad habits, such as mouth breathing, sticking out the tongue, biting the lower lip and adult sucking habits, are also causes of protruding mouth.

What should I do if my protruding mouth makes my profile look ugly?

Many people who love beauty are often told that protruding mouth cannot be corrected well when they go to the dental hospital for consultation. This is mainly because protruding mouth is caused by the protrusion of the upper and lower jaws, not only the teeth but also the alveolar bones. Once the tooth bones protrude forward, the traditional orthodontic methods in dental hospitals cannot retract the tooth bones. Even though the angle of the teeth can be changed to a certain extent, it cannot cause any changes to the alveolar bone itself. Only surgical correction is the ideal method to correct protruding mouth.

Protruding mouth correction surgery is also called maxillomandibular protrusion correction surgery, jaw surgery, and alveolar protrusion correction surgery. It mainly uses a skeletal 3D-CT system before surgery to measure the facial width ratio and the bone width ratio in many aspects, diagnose the jaw deformity, and then perform maxillofacial three-dimensional reconstruction to determine the 18 craniofacial anatomical landmarks commonly used in orthodontics, accurately improve the facial contour, and use preoperative simulation software to accurately design the postoperative effect. Professional plastic surgeons can adjust the tooth occlusion quickly and safely and improve the protruding mouth phenomenon caused by protruding alveolar bones.
