Non-Surgical Orthodontic Treatment

When we think of a dental clinic, we usually

first think of cavity treatment

and assume it is simply a place that treats pain.

But did you know that appearance-related concerns

such as malocclusion,

front teeth,

gums,

can also be addressed at a dental clinic?

Introducing dental aesthetics!

✿Check Point✿ Dental Aesthetics: Malocclusion

If the cause of malocclusion is not the skeleton, but the oral structure such as the teeth or gums, non-surgical dental aesthetics orthodontic treatment is possible.

Facial features that may appear with malocclusion include a receding chin, underbite, protruding mouth, facial asymmetry, and a square jaw. If the cause is the oral structure, this means such facial shapes can be sufficiently improved at a dental clinic.

If the condition is mild, caused by the oral structure, and you want some degree of improvement rather than a dramatic facial change, then it can be improved through double-jaw orthodontic treatment using regular wire braces or clear aligners.

Double-jaw surgery is a procedure in which the bone fragments are rearranged, shaped, and repositioned by refining the condylar bone fragment in the temporomandibular joint area.

By a similar principle, double-jaw orthodontic treatment is a procedure that fixes mini-screws into the gums to guide changes in the position of the mandibular condyle.

✿Check Point✿ Dental Aesthetics: Front Teeth

If you have front-teeth concerns such as rabbit teeth, butterfly teeth, or gapped front teeth, partial orthodontic treatment through dental aesthetics is possible.

Rabbit teeth can look cute, but if they are too large, there may be functional problems. Butterfly teeth can give a dated impression, and gapped front teeth can make someone look dull, so improving them is a good choice.

If the molar bite is aligned, the position of the canine crowding is not abnormal, and the gap between the front teeth is within 3 mm, then it can be improved through partial orthodontic treatment, which ends in a shorter period rather than full orthodontic treatment.

✿Check Point✿ Dental Aesthetics: Gums

If more than 3 mm of gums show when smiling, this is called a gummy smile, and depending on the degree, it can be corrected through dental aesthetics surgery or a non-surgical method.

A gummy smile has three causes, and the improvement method differs depending on the cause. If the cause is excessive vertical development of the upper teeth, it can be addressed with orthodontic treatment that adjusts tooth inclination. If the cause is the length of the gums covering the teeth, it can be addressed with gum incision surgery. If the cause is the length of the upper lip, it can be addressed with surgery that adjusts lip length. The causes that can be improved at a dental clinic are excessive vertical development of the upper teeth and the length of the gums covering the teeth.
