Hello~

I’m Lee Juri, the head dentist at Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic.



An image is the overall impression others have of me.

It includes not only appearance, but also tone of voice, facial expressions, attitude, atmosphere, and even small details like teeth.

When I was young, protruding teeth were praised as cute, but now that I’m an adult, I find myself closing my mouth tightly every time I take a photo.

In an era where a beautiful tooth arrangement becomes part of your impression.

For many people now, protruding teeth feel like a complex.

Godeok-dong orthodontic dental clinic: adult protruding teeth correction is still not too late.

I’ll explain why protruding teeth correction is necessary and how it is done.

A protruding tooth generally refers to teeth that are not aligned evenly, where teeth overlap or grow out of their proper position.

In other words, the teeth are arranged unevenly~

In many cases, the canine next to the upper front teeth protrudes upward from the gum, which is why it is often called a Dracula tooth.

It is said that the rate of protruding teeth is very high among children born recently.

Compared to the past, jaws are born smaller.. because tooth size is the same.

There are many other reasons as well!

  • If baby teeth fall out too early and block the space
  • If baby teeth fall out too late and the permanent teeth come in abnormally
  • If the tooth alignment is disturbed by bad habits (thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, etc.)

Even if baby teeth fall out too early, or fall out late, problems can occur.

Problems can also arise from habits in childhood.

Protruding teeth are not just an issue of appearance.

It is not simply that they are uncomfortable to look at; they can also cause a variety of oral health problems.

When teeth overlap like this, it becomes difficult to brush

and the risk of cavities and gum disease increases.

It can also place strain on the jaw joint, and

because you keep closing your mouth due to appearance-related insecurities, you may seem unfriendly or look depressed.

As abnormal force is transmitted to the teeth, rapid wear and root exposure can occur,

which may shorten the lifespan of the teeth as well.

That is why many people wonder, Should I try adult protruding teeth correction?

Along with a change in appearance, you can also protect your oral health.

Growth has stopped, but teeth can move at any time,

so adult protruding teeth correction is effective!

Depending on the condition of the teeth, whether extraction is needed may also be determined,

and after an accurate diagnosis that considers the condition of the alveolar bone and the jaw joint, a treatment plan is established.

For adults, treatment is carried out focusing on the complexes they feel.

It has value that goes beyond simply straightening the teeth.

Because you can regain confidence too.

Orthodontic treatment is not only for children.

Even now, as an adult, orthodontic treatment is not too late, and in fact, it may bring greater satisfaction.

Correcting protruding teeth can be the first step in protecting my oral health.

Thank you.
