One-sided chin high

In life, many people's faces do not look particularly symmetrical, with one half of the face being big and the other half being small. In fact, this is mostly related to a person's sleeping position and chewing habits. At this time, the chin also looks crooked, perhaps with one side higher and the other side lower. If the patient insists on treatment and does not want to have surgery, he can try to eat with the lower side. So what's the matter with a unilateral chin being high?

According to your description, your lower jaw appears to be tilted to the right. You need to check whether your teeth have abnormal bite or malocclusion. Long-term unilateral chewing may also lead to inconsistency of the chewing muscles on both sides. Avoid unilateral chewing and practice bilateral chewing.

If the lower jaw is tilted to the right, you need to check whether there is any abnormal bite or malocclusion of the teeth. Long-term unilateral chewing may also lead to inconsistency of the chewing muscles on both sides.

Guidance: It is recommended to eliminate tension and go to the orthodontic department to check the tooth occlusion and dentition first. It is also recommended to chew bilaterally, avoid unilateral chewing, and check the condition of the temporomandibular joint.

Long-term unilateral chewing may cause midline deviation, resulting in a larger face on one side, crooked chin, etc. In this case, you need braces to correct your teeth.

Guidance: You need to take a film to check the specific condition of your teeth in your mouth before deciding on a specific correction plan. You can go to the hospital's orthodontic department for consultation.

First of all, chewing on one side for a long time will cause many problems, such as facial asymmetry, more plaque and cavities on the teeth on the unused side, etc.

Guidance: You can change this habit now, slowly. It is not too late to change it now. Pay more attention in the future.

Unilateral chewing or unilateral chewing may affect the appearance of the face. The jaw and facial muscles on the side that is not often used are underdeveloped, and may even cause atrophy of the masticatory muscles and jaw, making the face on that side thin and sunken, while the side that is often used develops functional hypertrophy. Secondly, it may cause a variety of oral diseases. During normal chewing, the constant friction of food on the tooth surface and the flushing of saliva make the teeth self-cleaning very well. However, when chewing on one side, the teeth on the side that has been lacking chewing for a long time lose their self-cleaning function, and plaque easily accumulates between the teeth, leading to a high incidence of caries and gingivitis. Secondly, eccentric chewing leads to unbalanced force of the masseter muscles on both sides, which can cause temporomandibular joint diseases.

Guidance: There are many reasons for partial chewing. In addition to habitual factors, missing teeth, caries, malocclusion, periodontal disease, etc. also have a certain impact. Therefore, if you find that you have partial chewing, you should find out the cause and treat it accordingly. Missing teeth need to be repaired, caries need to be treated, malocclusion needs to be corrected, periodontal disease needs to be treated, and habits need to be corrected.
