Many people say that the face shape changes greatly after the correction. Some people say that the correction will become beautiful, while others say that the face will appear braces and will become ugly!
What is the relationship between orthodontics and braces?
Orthodontics have no direct relationship with braces. The appearance of braces is mainly caused by aging caused by ageing or chewing muscle atrophy.
1. Aging caused by ageing
Orthodontics generally take 2 years or more. If a person aged 25 years old and above undergoes orthodontics, the cheek fat pads sag, so it is easy to show that hysterical bones are higher, so cheek is more sunken, so it looks like a brace face.
2, chewing muscle atrophy
During the correction period, when the teeth are moved, eating will cause normal phenomena such as soreness. Therefore, many people choose to eat less or try more indulgent foods, which can easily cause chewing muscle atrophy and cause the appearance of braces.
How to prevent braces faces during correction?
1. Exercise the masseter muscle
You can chew gum or bite glue for about 10 minutes in daily life to fully exercise the facial muscles and prevent the appearance of braces.
2. Pay attention to diet
During the correction period, you cannot only eat soft foods. You can eat some relatively hard foods appropriately. You should have a diversified diet and chew it multiple times during the chewing process to prevent deterioration of masseter muscle function.
3. Don’t lose weight
Thinner people can gain weight appropriately before correction. Try not to lose weight during correction to avoid fat loss on the face.
