Correcting Dental Midline Asymmetry and Open Bite, Daechi-dong Yonsei Garden Dental Clinic

Hello. I am Yoon Jeong-won, the lead director of Yonsei Garden Dental Clinic, an orthodontic specialty clinic in Daechi-dong.

In the previous post, we looked at open bite and protruding mouth correction. Today, let’s look at a case in which the front teeth were spaced apart and the molars did not fit together properly, causing the lower jaw to twist to the right and the upper and lower dental midlines to be misaligned.

In this patient, the lower jaw was twisted to the right (left side in the photos), so the right molars were biting in reverse, and the upper and lower dental midlines were also shifted to the right. There was also a gap between the upper and lower front teeth, which made it uncomfortable to cut food.

There was no protrusion of the mouth, and the teeth were fairly well aligned, so we decided not to extract any teeth and instead improve the dental midline, the gap between the upper and lower front teeth, and the molar bite.

After orthodontic treatment was completed, the space between the upper and lower front teeth closed, and the upper and lower dental midlines matched. The reversed bite on the right molars improved, and the poorly aligned molar bite on the left also improved.

Along with the improvement in molar bite, the slight jaw asymmetry that had been shifted to the right when smiling was also improved.

Open bite correction is a treatment for which maintenance is important so that recurrence does not occur later. The patient was advised not to protrude the tongue and was strongly encouraged to work hard on myofunctional exercises to improve the correct tongue position (practice of lightly biting the teeth, closing the lips, and broadly placing the entire tongue against the palate).

Yonsei Garden Dental Clinic’s orthodontic treatment includes all costs such as detailed diagnostic fees and monthly fees (excluding retainer costs), so there is no need to worry about additional expenses. In addition, installment payments are available to reduce the burden of needing a large sum all at once. Since the clinic also has a general dentistry department, there is the advantage of being able to receive all treatments needed for orthodontics, such as extractions and cavity treatment, in one place.

Yoon Jeong-won, the lead director in charge of orthodontics, has specialized only in orthodontics for 16 years of clinical experience and has extensive experience with many high-difficulty cases. Therefore, effective treatment is possible for various orthodontic cases such as malocclusion, protruding mouth, and underbite.
