Orthodontic treatment is not just about straightening your teeth it can also affect your facial structure. However, the results depend on several factors, including:
1. Tooth Extraction Combined with Orthodontics
If teeth, especially front teeth, are extracted to create space for movement, it can reduce lip protrusion. This may result in a more balanced facial profile, with a more defined nose and chin when viewed from the side.
2. Reduced Jaw Muscle Activity
During orthodontic treatment, patients tend to chew less, temporarily decreasing the size of the cheek muscles. This can make the face appear slimmer for a period of time.
3. Orthodontics During Growth Phase
For patients aged 10-14, jawbones are still developing. Orthodontic treatment during this phase can help enhance facial structure for a more balanced and harmonious appearance in the long term.
4. Orthodontics Combined with Jaw Surgery
In cases of severe jaw deformities, orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic surgery can significantly improve facial contours.
There's a common misconception that getting braces before a nose job can cause problems like the nose implant shifting or breaking through the skin. This is not true. You can have orthodontic treatment and rhinoplasty without one affecting the other.
That said, if your braces treatment includes removing upper teeth, it might make your lips look a bit flatter and your face less full, which can naturally make your nose appear more noticeable.
If you haven't had a nose job before, it's usually best to wait until your teeth have settled after braces before talking to a plastic surgeon. This way, they can plan your nose procedure to best fit your new facial shape after orthodontic treatment.
