In this era of looking at faces, "protruding mouth" can be said to have become one of the deadly points that love beauty students to mind the most! I have also shared with you some related content of "protruding mouth" before, which mentions some definitions of "protruding mouth", bad effects and related treatment methods.
Today, I will share with you a case of "protruding mouth" and see how she has improved?
This is a 24-year-old woman, because of "protruding mouth", "tooth decay", "thick lips", "severe chin retraction", and a smile, feeling that she is old and not good-looking, and the contour lines are not smooth and soft enough.
After the doctor's face-to-face diagnosis combined with X-ray, three-dimensional measurement and other data, it was found that the patient was "Ann's bony class II malocclusion deformity (that is, the upper jaw is overdeveloped anteriorly, the mandibular is underdeveloped, the maxilla is relative to the mandibular protrusion, the front teeth are deeply covered and deeply covered), the upper and lower lips are prominent, the open lip is exposed, and the chin is retracted."
According to the actual situation, the doctor carried out the overall program design for it:
· Improves the length of the maxilla vertically and reduces static tooth exposure.
· Retract the upper jaw and improve the corners of the nasal and western lips.
· Migrate the mandible anteriorly, close the anterior teeth of the front teeth to cover the overburden, increase the chin protrusion, and shape the chin and lip groove.
· Shape the aesthetic between the upper and lower lip beads by adjusting the anterior teeth overlay.
This includes two parts: orthodontics and orthognathic surgery:
▶ In this case, orthodontics are performed, the relevant teeth are extracted and adjusted to obtain a stable occlusal relationship.
At the end of orthodontics, soft tissues are characterized by a contraction of the chin of the soft tissue, a prominent upper lip, a lower lip behind the upper lip, difficulty closing the lips, and a disappearance of the chin and lip groove with forced closure. Increased static exposed teeth, with the crown of the upper upper teeth as a whole located under the red lip; Smile gums, sharp corners of nose and lips.
See figure below:
▶ Orthognathic surgery is followed, and surgical design is the most critical part of orthognathic surgery.
As can be seen from the following figure, after orthognathic surgery, the static teeth and gum smile are significantly reduced compared with the preoperative period. The corner of the nasal lips is greater than 90 °, the nasolabial groove becomes shallower, the proportion between the middle and lower parts of the face is more coordinated, and the "protruding mouth" disappears from the front.
The patient only corrected the teeth, jaws and other hard tissues, there is a great improvement, clinically, after the hard tissue correction, usually the red lip protrusion will also be correspondingly improved, such as the presence of excessive red lip protrusion can then be thick lip thinning treatment. There are also some beauty seekers who will also have a longer time in the person after orthognathic surgery, which will aggravate the sense of age, and at this time, it can be improved by shortening the human shortening according to the situation.
