Person A Who Spent 2 Years on Protruding Front Tooth Correction and Regrets It vs. Person B Who Found Their Life Smile in Just 6 Months

Even while happily chatting with friends,

when someone points a camera at you,

do you instinctively cover your mouth with your hand?

Because your front teeth stand out so much,

people may even misunderstand you and ask, “Are you angry?”

and because your lips don’t naturally close,

your mouth always feels dry and uncomfortable...

In the dental clinic, many patients with protruding front teeth

have endured these small daily feelings of self-consciousness

for a long time, beyond just concerns about appearance.

Hello.

We are Blanche Dental Clinic,

a place where your smile becomes a work of art.

Today, for those who are considering orthodontic consultation because their front teeth keep jutting forward,

I’d like to point out the three key factors

you must check before starting.

1. Is the problem the ‘teeth’ or the ‘skeletal structure’?

Not all protruding front teeth have the same cause.

Whether the teeth themselves are angled forward,

or the upper jaw itself is protruding,

making this distinction accurately is the first step.

A house whose pillar (the teeth) is only slightly tilted

just needs the pillar to be straightened,

but if the ground itself (the jawbone) is already projecting forward,

the approach must be completely different.

Whether your condition can be improved with simple angle correction alone,

or whether skeletal harmony must also be considered,

it is most important to first check the root positions

and the harmony of the jaw joints through precise X-rays and 3D analysis.

2. There is no fixed answer for ‘extraction’ and ‘non-extraction’

“Do I have to pull healthy teeth to correct protruding front teeth?”

This is probably the part you fear most.

To move protruding teeth backward,

you naturally need that much ‘empty space.’

If the space is far from sufficient, extraction may be unavoidable,

but pulling teeth is not always the only answer.

ㆍSlightly reshaping the spaces between teeth (IPR)

ㆍA method that moves the entire dental arch backward

There is also an arch expansion method that creates space by widening the palate to both sides.

We need the know-how to secure enough space while preserving as many natural teeth as possible.

You should discuss deeply with the medical team which method will be more beneficial for your gum health 10 years from now.

3. What matters more than ‘alignment’ is ‘harmony with the face’

The success of orthodontics is not simply about

lining up the teeth neatly in a row.

The line from the tip of the nose to the chin,

the amount of gum shown when smiling,

and even the patient’s unique lip thickness

must all be calculated in detail.

Some of the more than 3,000 treatment cases, including protruding teeth.

(December 11, 2020 ~ July 30, 2022)

If teeth are pulled back too aggressively,

the mouth can end up looking sunken and older,

leading to a side effect known as a “tooth cave-in” appearance.

The orthodontic treatment Blanche Dental Clinic pursues

is not simply about pulling teeth back,

but about a precise process of finding the golden ratio of a smile

that blends most naturally with the patient’s facial shape.

“Good treatment starts with an honest diagnosis”

When considering correction for protruding front teeth,

the most regrettable situation is being caught up in a race to be

the “fastest” and “cheapest,”

and then missing the value of your precious natural teeth.

We state that the photo was taken in the same environment, without any separate editing, with the patient’s consent.

At Blanche Dental Clinic,

we do not obsess over the numbers involved in simply pulling teeth back.

We only propose honest and reasonable solutions

that will let the patient smile comfortably without sensitivity,

even 20 years from now.

In closing, please stop covering your mouth with your hand

Even as you read this, you may be wondering, “Can my mouth become pretty without a tooth-cave-in appearance too?”

That worry will never be solved by looking in the mirror alone.

More important than the many ‘amazing orthodontic success’ stories floating around online is your X-ray data.

I will personally analyze your skeletal structure and tooth angles carefully,

and draw a realistic plan for whether extraction is necessary or whether meaningful change is possible without extraction.

Consultation requests are currently overwhelming, so wait times may be long.

But to complete each person’s smile as a work of art,

we will not compromise on treatment quality.

Please check your data before it gets any later.

Without overtreatment, and with the mindset of treating my own family’s teeth,

I will give you the most honest answer possible.
