How to correct protruding front teeth

The professional name for protruding front teeth is protrusion of front teeth, commonly known as buck teeth. The phenomenon of protruding front teeth not only affects the facial appearance, but also may induce oral diseases such as caries and periodontitis, and in severe cases will have a negative impact on the patient's psychology. Protruding front teeth can be corrected. There are many techniques in this regard, each with its own characteristics. So, how to correct protruding front teeth? Let’s take a look at the method below.

(1) Traditional orthodontic treatment: Traditional orthodontic braces are small iron plates called brackets that are bonded to the teeth. Corrective archwires are then tied to the brackets to move the teeth and achieve the purpose of correction. But because there are many corrective devices on the teeth, it gives people the feeling of "iron mouth and steel teeth". At the same time, if oral hygiene is not well maintained, it may cause oral damage such as gingivitis, tooth demineralization and discoloration, which makes many patients, especially adult patients, afraid of "correction".

a. Orthodontics. Generally speaking, the most ideal solution for mild to moderate facial protrusion is orthodontic treatment. The method of expanding the dental arch and moving the molars backward is to create space for the front teeth to move backward. If the teeth are very crowded, tooth extraction can be used to make the front teeth significantly retracted, thereby improving the protrusion of the lower third of the face and obtaining a good aesthetic effect.

b. Implant restoration: In cases of protruding incisors with complete teeth and not too bad periodontal conditions, implants are generally not considered. However, if the periodontal disease is very serious and the teeth are obviously loose, implants are the best solution. By extracting loose and labially tilted front teeth, inserting implants, and restoring the upper part with beautiful and realistic all-ceramic teeth, a complete transformation can be achieved, and the whole appearance of the person will be completely renewed. If the dental condition is very serious and the original tooth cannot be retained, friends who have the conditions can consider dental implant restoration.

(2) Cosmetic crown correction treatment: Cosmetic crown tooth beautification technology can achieve perfect tooth restoration! Cosmetic crowns go beyond traditional orthodontic surgery, eliminating the need for tooth extraction and the need to wear braces for 2-3 years. We use 3D digital positioning technology and combine face shape and skin color to design teeth beautification plans. After correction, the teeth will be strong, beautiful and elegant. Cutting-edge teeth beautification technology, painless and minimally invasive, you can leave immediately after the procedure is done. The process will not affect your normal diet, and you can recover quickly without interrupting your work or study.

a. Cosmetic restoration: For mild to moderate protrusion of the incisors with no obvious crowding, full crown restoration can be considered. The incisors can be retracted by changing the inclination of the crown to improve the protrusion. If the incisors are too tilted, a cast post needs to be implanted in the root canal to change the direction of the crown. The good layering and transparency of all-ceramic crowns ensure that the cosmetic restoration of front teeth is beautiful and realistic, and can achieve or even exceed the aesthetic effect of natural teeth. Among the cosmetic restorative plastic surgery methods, cosmetic crowns are undoubtedly a good choice.
