While thinking about orthodontic treatment,

many of the people who visit Ceramic Dental Clinic

are concerned about their “protruding mouth.”

Why is there so much concern about

protruding mouth correction?

Protruding mouth

Compared with Westerners, East Asians, including Koreans,

  1. are born with relatively narrow jaws.

Because many teeth have to be arranged in a narrow jaw,

they end up protruding forward.

  1. The face is flat and the cheeks are sunken, or

  2. the nose is relatively low compared with Westerners.

For these reasons,

many faces have less overall depth, so

even a slight protrusion of the mouth stands out more.

In addition to these congenital causes,

delayed loss of baby teeth,

and habits such as thumb sucking or tongue thrusting

can cause or worsen protruding mouth.

Why should protruding mouth be treated?

  1. Many people have

a complex about their appearance because of protruding mouth itself.

Regardless of your intentions,

you may look blunt or stubborn,

and as the mouth protrudes, the bridge of the nose may look lower.

As the mouth protrudes, the chin may look pulled back,

creating a tendency toward a weak chin.

Some people also say they feel less confident

about their side facial line.

  1. In many cases, protruding mouth is

accompanied by other malocclusions.

(Protruding mouth + deep bite, open bite, irregular alignment, weak chin, etc.)

If protruding mouth is left untreated,

not only will the protrusion become more pronounced,

but continuous stress will be placed on the teeth,

which may harm the health of the teeth and gums,

so we strongly recommend improving it through orthodontic treatment.

At Ceramic Dental Clinic, a dental clinic specializing in orthodontics,

we have treated more than 6,000 orthodontic cases,

and through more than 1,000 protruding mouth improvement cases,

we have confirmed that most protruding mouths can be sufficiently improved

with orthodontics alone, without surgery.

The subject of today’s before-and-after protruding mouth orthodontic case

after orthodontic treatment, at Ceramic Dental Clinic,

a dental clinic specializing in orthodontics,

is a person who had a complex about their appearance because of a protruding mouth,

and wanted to regain confidence by improving it.

Age when orthodontic treatment started: Late 20s

Reason for starting orthodontic treatment: Protruding mouth

Expected treatment period: 24 months

Treatment method: Extraction of 2 teeth, ceramic braces, mini-screws

(Two lower teeth had already been lost)

(1) Diagnosis of the problem

Because of the typical protruding mouth,

even from the front,

the lips appear to curl outward and look thick.

From the 45-degree semi-profile and side-view photos,

you can see that the protruding mouth stands out even more.

Looking inside the teeth,

the lower two teeth had already been missing

and had been left untreated for quite a long time.

After the adjacent tooth was lost and left untreated for a long time,

the molar can be seen tilted sideways.

Because the patient came to Ceramic Dental Clinic before it was too late,

we diagnosed that the tilted molar could be straightened.

(2) Treatment plan

  1. Extraction orthodontics

To improve the protruding mouth, we planned extraction orthodontics

by removing a total of four teeth, two on the upper and two on the lower,

but since the two lower premolars (small molars) were already missing,

we proceeded with orthodontic treatment after extracting only the two upper teeth.

  1. Mini-screws

Using mini-screws,

we further and more completely improved the protruding mouth.

(3) Treatment results

  1. Of course, the protruding mouth was properly pulled back!

  2. The lips, which had looked slightly flipped outward and large,

were also improved in a way that looks pleasing

  1. The bridge of the nose looks higher, and

  2. the jaw line also changed to look slimmer

Overall, the image was refined.

I remember the patient first thinking that it would be good just to pull the protruding mouth back,

and then being very satisfied that their appearance changed beyond expectations.

At Ceramic Dental Clinic,

our orthodontic treatment is based on the core goal of restoring dental and oral health,

and we aim to bring back overall facial balance and harmony,

as well as beautiful facial lines.
