How to judge whether it is bone or tooth

A protruding mouth has a huge impact on a person's temperament. If the problem of protruding mouth can be solved, it may greatly improve the overall temperament of the person. However, if you want to solve the problem of protruding mouth, you need to first judge the situation of the protruding mouth, because protruding mouth can be divided into skeletal and dental, and the treatment methods are different for different situations. How to determine whether it is bone or tooth?

1. Close your mouth. If you have bony protrusion, your lips will look very thick, turned outward and wide! This is mainly because the protrusion of the alveolar bone makes the entire mouth bulge out, making it look like an orangutan. If the teeth are protruding, the lips will be turned outward, but overall the width of the mouth is still small and not very wide or large.

2. Open your mouth, lift your lips and look at the position of your gums. Basically, people with protruding teeth have smooth gums, and their gums do not show when they smile. People with bony protrusion have convex gums with a large curvature. In severe cases, the gums on both sides will protrude in a square shape. When they laugh, the entire gums are exposed outside the lips, making them look very fierce.

3. Touch the left and right sides of your philtrum, which is the skin between your upper lip and nostrils. People with bony protrusion can feel a bulging bone protruding when they touch it, making the philtrum very deep and looking like a monkey's mouth. For those with protruding teeth, there is no serious bone protrusion in that area. It feels flat and the philtrum is not very concave or deep.

【Kind tips】

Teeth with skeletal protrusion can only be corrected through surgery, while simple dental protrusion can be corrected by orthodontics. In addition, misaligned teeth must be corrected through orthodontics.

The difference between orthodontics

There are two types of buck teeth correction: dental buck teeth and skeletal buck teeth. For dental buck teeth, traditional braces correction can be used, that is, correction by wearing braces, which may require extraction of some teeth. In addition, the severity of the deformed teeth also has a great impact on the time taken. If it is a mild case of buck teeth, then the time taken is very short. If the teeth are severely crooked, not only the front teeth protrude, but also the teeth are crowded or there is an overbite, then it will take more time to correct it.

It is difficult to correct skeletal protrusions with orthodontic methods alone, so doctors generally use surgical orthodontic procedures, also known as dental surgical orthodontics. The advantages of Hou Zhenjie's surgical orthodontics are that the surgery is less traumatic and the recovery is quick. The swelling will return to normal in 3-5 days and you can be discharged from the hospital after the operation without affecting your normal work.
