Correction of Protruding Front Teeth Is Possible Without Extraction.

Correction of protruding front teeth is possible without extraction.

Hello,

I am Lee Ju-ri, Chief Director of Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic.

My teeth, one of the five blessings in life, others always seem straight and pretty...

Looking at my front teeth in the mirror, why do they stick out so much?

Have you been thinking that way?

When the front teeth protrude forward,

it can make the mouth appear protruded.

To hide it,

you may end up putting tension in your lips when closing your mouth.

Even in the case of protruding front teeth,

orthodontic treatment without extraction is possible!

Today, I’ll explain what protruding front teeth are and why non-extraction orthodontic treatment is possible.

What are protruding front teeth??

You can probably tell they are protruding front teeth just by looking at the photo, right?

In the clinic, what patients commonly call protruding front teeth

is referred to as maxillary anterior protrusion.

This refers to a condition in which the front teeth stick out beyond their normal position.

In some cases, only the teeth protrude forward, and in others, the jawbone itself is protruded.

Because the angle of the upper front teeth leans outward,

the upper lip also naturally appears more protruded,

which can make it look like a protrusive mouth.

When someone has protruding front teeth, it often leads to a drop in confidence about their appearance.

To hide the protruding teeth,

people tend to keep their lips pressed together often,

and this can sometimes make their expression seem stern or make them look depressed...

For the sake of improving appearance as well,

orthodontic treatment for protruding front teeth is necessary.

Since many people think that correcting protrusive front teeth means extraction orthodontics,

adults often feel 부담 about having teeth extracted and then undergoing treatment.

2. Correcting protrusive front teeth can also be done without extraction!

Extraction orthodontic method

If the degree of protrusion is moderate or greater!

If a lot of tooth movement is expected,

teeth are extracted,

and the extracted space is used to move the teeth backward and relieve the protrusion.

However, even if the teeth are protrusive by angle, there are patients whose side profile shows that the protrusion is not severe.

Through precise diagnosis,

if it is possible to gradually secure small spaces between the teeth,

correction of protrusive front teeth without extraction is possible!!

Wisdom teeth may be removed...

or a little enamel may be trimmed between teeth to create space.

Because the cause and shape of the protrusion vary from patient to patient, this is possible.

If the degree of protrusion is not severe,

treatment can often be completed in about one year.

Even changing only the angle of the front teeth can make the overall impression look softer.

When smiling, the alignment of the teeth can also look neater.

Protruding front teeth are not simply a matter of looking unattractive;

they can also affect health and pronunciation.

For many patients, they become a complex they want to hide.

My concern about my front teeth

I guess I just have to live with how I was born...

don’t keep worrying about it alone,

and I hope this becomes a turning point in your thinking.

Thank you.
