Adult Chin Correction: It Can Go Beyond Appearance Issues and Even Disturb You During Sleep

Adult chin correction: It can go beyond appearance issues and even disturb you during sleep

Hello,

I’m Lee Ju-ri, the head doctor at Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic.

A recessed chin that gives the impression of a short chin

It can also occur together with protruding mouth,

and because the chin looks set back,

many people experience appearance-related stress.

In fact, it is not that fat has accumulated on the chin,

but because the line from the chin to the neck is unclear,

it can look like a double chin....

However, this is not only an appearance issue but something that can also negatively affect health, so correction is needed.

Today, I’ll explain what a recessed chin is,

how you can self-check it,

and what problems it can cause.

What is a recessed chin? 250902

A recessed chin is not simply an impression of a short chin;

it refers to a condition in which the jawbone is set back.

Recently, I wrote about the aesthetic line.

Because the lower chin does not project enough forward,

when viewed from the front,

the chin appears short or

the jawline looks vague,

which can disrupt the overall facial balance.

In many cases, a recessed chin involves an imbalance between the skeleton and teeth.

It can also be accompanied by protruding mouth,

and many people also have a narrow dental arch.

Not only is it a simple cosmetic issue,

it can also secondarily cause discomfort with breathing.

How is a short lower jaw related to

breathing?

In reality, even if the airway is not narrow,

when you sleep, the chin that has receded backward presses on the airway,

which can cause snoring.

It can even lead to apnea during sleep.

Snoring occurs when air does not pass smoothly through the airway during sleep....

It is not just a loud sound;

it can also cause fatigue, making you feel as if you did not sleep deeply,

even if you kept a sufficient amount of sleep time.

Even if it seems like you slept for a long time on the outside,

in reality, your body may not have gotten enough rest.

A representative problem that patients with a recessed chin experience is the temporomandibular joint.

Because the jaw position is unstable,

many people have temporomandibular joint disorders.

A recessed chin goes beyond the problem of simply looking like the chin is short,

and can affect breathing and TMJ health as well..

These days, many people get fillers to add volume to the chin tip.

While chin volume can be temporarily added,

it cannot change the bone position, so improving the underlying breathing issue or

TMJ problem is difficult.

For adults, since jaw growth has already been completed,

surgical correction may need to be considered to solve the problem.

Therefore, through a precise diagnosis,

it is necessary to accurately understand the current condition..

You should consider whether surgery is needed

or whether correction alone is possible.

No matter which method the patient chooses,

what matters most is knowing your current condition.

Please do not worry about it alone; receive professional counseling.

Not every recessed chin requires surgery,

and there are cases that can be sufficiently improved with non-surgical correction,

so please feel free to visit us.
