I don't have a completely protruding mouth or my teeth are not aligned properly, but the sides of my front teeth are slightly wide open and my teeth are slightly protruding forward. You have to strain your muscles to keep your mouth shut.
So, I received orthodontic consultation and found out that there is no space behind my gums, so if I correct only the gaping area, my teeth will come forward further. To do this, they say you have to put screws in the gums and move the whole thing backwards, but I'm worried that if I correct it for 3 years like that, there will be
side effects. Of course, the lips that stick out because of the teeth will go in a little, but I'm also worried about things like the lengthening of the philtrum and the appearance of nasolabial folds. . I'm young and don't have cheekbones, so I don't have nasolabial folds yet. If anyone has a similar case or has had correction, please let me know about the side effects.
