Recently, a Korean celebrity has been receiving the spotlight for her drastic facial change. She used to have a protruded mouth before, resembling a soccer player. Now, however, she has a much more beautiful face after getting an orthodontic treatment. Would it be true that you can fix protruded mouth only through orthodontic treatment instead of surgery?

SuBin Shin, the head doctor at ID Dentistry, said “there are two types of protruded mouth. One is teeth protrusion, and the other is alveolar bone (gum bone) protrusion. If your mouth protrusion is caused by protruded teeth, not the bone, then getting an orthodontic treatment will give you greater satisfactory result than orthognathic surgery.”

Mouth protrusion correction begins with making a space for teeth to be straightened by pulling out the premolar so that there is enough room for teeth in jaw bone. After ensuring the space, orthodontic appliance is attached to align the teeth, and the front teeth are pushed into the space which corrects the protruded mouth. However, this is only possible when the intensity of protrusion is not severe. It also needs an extremely long period of time, which is about 2 years, so it requires patience.

Therefore, ID Dentistry has recently introduced ‘Speed Mouth Protrusion Correction’ to lessen the burden of long treatment period. Pulling out the teeth and pushing in the protruded mouth are done simultaneously, and you can see the facial change a year faster than you would in a typical orthodontic treatment. This is because the alignment process that is normally done in the beginning is done with the finishing step, so you can correct the protrusion in a shorter time period.

In other words, after ensuring enough space for teeth through pulling out the premolar, protruded mouth is pushed into the space right away, so the orthodontic treatment is processed when the protruded mouth is pushed in. Because of this, you will be able to see the facial change at least 6 months to a year sooner than in a normal orthodontic treatment. Moreover, you will have a neat lip line, higher nose tip, more defined chin line, and slender facial shape after the Speed Mouth Protrusion Correction, so it is most suitable for people who want a dramatic change in their face.

Dr. SuBin Shin said and recommended that “patients with protruded mouth have a lot of stress about not only teeth function problem but also facial complex, so they ask for treatment that can be done in a short period of time and shows a definite improvement effect. However, it’s important to start the correction process that considers the relational characteristics between jaw bone and teeth and the nature of the tissue surrounding teeth and gums additional to straightening the teeth.”
