Can tiger orthodontics change the face? Do you need tooth extraction when correcting tiger teeth? In fact, the purpose of orthodontics is not only to become beautiful, but also to adjust the teeth to a healthy occlusal relationship.

Let's have a look first?

Tiger tooth is the third tooth in the number of incisors Three teeth, also known as canine or dog tooth, there are four teeth in the upper, lower, left and right. It germinated during the replacement period of primary and permanent teeth. If the caries of primary molars are not treated in time, resulting in a large area of tooth crown defects, or even early extraction, it may lead to insufficient space for permanent teeth or premolars to germinate and form tiger teeth.

Does tiger tooth correction need tooth extraction?

The tiger teeth are slightly crowded, and no tooth extraction is required. Severe crowding requires tooth extraction ~~Orthodontic tooth extraction is to provide space for crowded teeth. Not everyone needs orthodontic tooth extraction (the proportion of orthodontic tooth extraction is about 60%); If the tiger teeth are accompanied with moderate and mild crowding, the auxiliary methods such as pushing the molars backward, deglazing/sectioning the adjacent surfaces, and implant support can be used for correction. Severe crowding should be corrected by pulling out No. 4 teeth.

Will the face shape change before and after correcting tiger teeth?

Under normal circumstances, the face shape before and after tiger tooth correction is not large; Because orthodontic tooth extraction is generally to extract No. 4 tooth, not tiger tooth ~~Tiger teeth are responsible for the appearance level and function. They are arranged at the corners on both sides of the corners of the mouth, which can support our corners of the mouth, making our faces plump and smiling more brightly; The tiger tooth looks like a sharp knife. It is mainly responsible for biting food and has very powerful functions.

If it is necessary to arbitrarily pull out bilateral tiger teeth in the process of correcting tiger teeth, the corners of the mouth and nose may collapse, and the whole face looks old and stiff, giving a feeling of a flat mouth old lady~~If only one side of the tiger teeth is pulled out, the bilateral faces may be asymmetric.
