Braces is changing my face and mouth?!


Question: Braces is changing my face and mouth.?
I had braces on for about a year now and I absolutely hate it. my cheekbones are protruding too much( I already have great cheek bones and now I just look I am getting old too fast). MY mouth can't close. I kept on thinking that these are temperory, but it's been a while and it's not going away. I am thinking about switching dentist or just take the braces off.

My teeth weren't horrible to begin with. Will my teeth and bone move back when I take braces off.? I don't think it is worth it to have straight teeth but loose my face structure. I haven't felt pretty ever since I had braces on and can't take it anymore.

I think my jaw is becoming bigger and I have a small mouth. I don't want to change anything about my face, now I just dont' feel atractive.

Well, that sucks. The first thing I told my ortho was when all is said and done, I better not come out looking like a horse. He guaranteed I won't so I went for it. LOL So far no sign of horse face. I know my lips will change slightly though but I am ok with that.

Btw, I am sure you are still pretty.Health Question & Answer

braces often slightly re align the teeth in different ways e.g they move them forward gradually into the gaps if there are any . the structure of the teeth can change with age also.if you are having doubts speak to the orthodontist that fitted them and see what they recomendHealth Question & Answer

Don't worry! Your orthodontist know hat their doing and you haven' yet finished your time in braces. You should just let your orthodontist know your worries and he should take them into account. If not, change orthodontist. But I'd really recommend just leaving these thoughts alone for another month or so even though you have waited long enough. But people should see you from the inside, not from the out. They may be subtle changes that just you are noticing. Ask your freinds if they've noticed a change in your appearance. If they say no, then that's great and if they say yes then you still shouldn't worry. They are probably with you nearly all the time and see you often. It's different when you are with someone seldom, say a second cousin of yours or someone that you just don't see on a daily basis. I bet they haven't noticed a change in your facial structure because they haven't been with you very often to be able to notice the changes in your facial structure. Even if you have changed a lot in your face, it's probably for the better and your appearance should have improved by the end of your treatment. Did you use to have an underbite or very unique teeth positions.? Your face probably wasn't being supported by your jaw but when your face is being supported by the correct size and positioned jaw, your face will look fine. Sorry about my lecture but good luck with your braces! I hope you find your solution. :)Health Question & Answer
