Why does my teeth look straight but my mouth protrudes forward?

Everyone's appearance is very different and has its own unique characteristics. For example, some people have straight teeth and a beautiful appearance, while some people have straight teeth but a protruding mouth. This image is very ugly and is very detrimental to people's foreign exchanges. Let's take a look at what's going on with straight teeth but a protruding mouth? I hope everyone can understand.

Mouth protrusion can be divided into the following types according to different degrees:

1. Only the mouth is protruding and the face is not long. Generally, if the face shape is normal but the mouth is protruding, it can be improved through mouth protrusion surgery and obvious results can be seen.

2. A condition common to protruding mouth and short chin. Because of the short chin, the mouth will appear more prominent. The upper and lower teeth protrude differently. If a protruding mouth surgery is performed, it will only make the mouth look sunken, so it needs to be improved through double jaw surgery in plastic surgery.

3. The situation where a protruding mouth and a long face coexist. The face is long and the alveoli can be seen when smiling or the mouth cannot be closed normally. There are many cases where protruding mouth is not serious, but because of the long face shape, if it is not corrected together, the face will appear even longer, so this case also requires double jaw surgery.

4. Protruding mouth and overall protruding jaw The jawbone under the nose is protruding as a whole, giving a strong masculine impression. Two-jaw surgery is needed to advance the protruding mouth and jawbone.

How to improve an ugly protruding mouth?

1. Orthodontics. For a protruding mouth where only the teeth protrude forward, good results can be achieved with orthodontic treatment alone. However, in Korea, most patients have protruding teeth and gums, which requires surgery. The surgical plan will be determined based on the face shape and degree of prominence. Surgery can also shorten the treatment time.

2. Anterior maxillary osteotomy. The general term for protruding mouth surgery is: anterior maxillary osteotomy, which is a method of extracting a tooth behind the canine, then cutting off the gum bone in that area, and moving the gum bone and teeth in that area as a whole.

3. Two-jaw surgery. If you have had a tooth extracted before and cannot have it removed again; if your mouth protrusion is not serious and you feel a sunken feeling after a normal mouth protrusion surgery; if your lower jaw also protrudes; or if your face is long and your gums are exposed a lot, then you need to undergo two-jaw surgery.

4. Three-jaw surgery. When performing chin osteotomy and two-jaw surgery together, it requires a high level of skill. If the mouth is severely protruding and the chin is severely short, three-jaw surgery is required.
