Xiao Bian found that many people were retracted by the chin to do hidden orthodontics. Is it useful? In fact, this problem is not difficult. If you know how orthodontics pulls out the chin, you will know that hidden orthodontics has no effect on jaw retraction.

Why can orthodontics pull out the chin?

In fact, orthodontics is not about pulling out our chin. It is about correcting the protrusion of the upper incisors and other problems. As the teeth are pulled back, a cavity (chin lip groove) appears between the lower lip and chin. When you have this cavity, you will not feel the chin shrink, and your chin will have an arc.

When children suffer from jaw dysplasia, orthodontics is actually to make the mandible grow better. The mandible grows forward, which can improve jaw retraction.

But adult orthodontics does not change the length of the jaw, but shows the jaw by changing the position of the teeth. Visually, the chin will have an arc.

Then you will think about what kind of orthodontic method to use. In fact, there is one method: cover up orthodontics.

What is recessive orthodontics?

Recessive orthodontics is a method to improve jaw contraction for people who do not want to do orthognathic surgery. Recessive orthodontics is also a kind of orthodontic method, but it aims at problems such as skeletal jaw contraction.

Recessive orthodontics is to improve the jaw contraction through tooth extraction, but the jaw bone will not change too much. That's why we look like chins after adult orthodontic treatment. In fact, the chin didn't come out.

Since there are ways, there must be two sides. You must know the advantages and disadvantages.

Hide the advantages and disadvantages of orthodontics

The advantage of hidden orthodontics is that it can change the problem of jaw retraction without surgery.

The disadvantage lies in that the change after masked orthodontics is not very big, only a slight change, of course, mainly depends on the extent of your psychological expectations for the effect.

Therefore, if you have mild to moderate skeletal deformities and do not have a high demand for improvement, you can do masked orthodontics. If you have severe bone deformities, you need a higher effect. It is recommended to do orthognathic surgery. Orthognathic surgery is to change your bones, and the effect will be better than masked orthodontics.

It is effective to hide orthodontics after narrowing the chin, but the specific situation needs specific analysis. Therefore, the importance of a good doctor is not small and lengthy.

Warm reminder: You are worried that the hidden orthodontics can also be a orthognathic problem, which does not necessarily depend on your alveolar bone. You need to see the technical level of the doctor you choose.
