Upper teeth protrude and chin recedes

Many people's teeth are not perfect or straight. So many people go to dental institutions to get their teeth fixed. People usually choose to wear braces to make their teeth more straight. Moreover, after wearing braces, the face shape will become more three-dimensional and more beautiful. So why does the protruding upper teeth cause the chin to recede? Next, follow the editor to learn about it in detail.

1. Can a retracted chin be treated with braces?

People who hold the view that "braces can cure a receding chin" think that a receding chin is caused by overly protruding teeth, and that the chin will naturally protrude more as long as the teeth are corrected back to their original position. It seems to make sense at first glance, but it doesn’t make sense if you think about it carefully! Your chin itself has not moved, it's just that the protruding mouth has been corrected. The protruding chin is just an illusion. Essentially the jaw has not changed at all.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some people can improve their chin through this method, but the effect of improving the chin retraction by braces is not obvious.

Or maybe your receding chin is not serious. If your chin is slightly retracted and you can still feel that your teeth are severely protruding, then you can wear braces to correct it. If this is not the case, I advise you not to suffer this. In the end, even though I was starving, my chin didn't improve.

2. Understand the cause of chin retraction before correcting it

Some people blindly correct their chin but see no effect. The main reason is that they don't understand the cause of the retracted chin. For example, the retracted chin is mainly due to the fact that the bones of the lower jaw are shorter than those of the upper jaw. This causes the retracted chin that we can see with the naked eye. If we only do dental correction or wear a chin retraction corrector at this time, it would be like trimming the leaves of a tree when its trunk has grown crooked. Although it seems to be effective at the time, there is no improvement at all, and the problem will still become apparent little by little.

3. Surgical solutions for chin retraction

A receding chin is commonly known as "overbite". There is a medical procedure called "double jaw surgery" for this. This method can be improved, but among all plastic surgery treatments, the safety level of this surgery is the highest and it requires a hospital with level 4 surgical qualifications to perform it.
