Can you tell me about extraction orthodontics and chin change?

Question too broad: Tooth extraction is done in about 30% of orthodontic patients when the amount of tooth material exceeds the amount of bone to support the teeth. Orthodontic specialists are adept at balancing tooth position, jaw position, and facial drape to create a harmonious balance. Ask an orthodontist to examine your problem set and explain treatment choices that will work best for you.

?: Extraction of teeth can actually help the chin appearance. If teeth stick out too far, when the lips are forced to close, sometimes the chin appears wrinked (mentalis muscle strain). If teeth are extracted to retract the position of the anterior teeth and the lips close passively, sometimes that mentalis muscle strain will go away.

Extraction ortho: Teeth extractions may have the effect of augmenting (improving) the amount of chin contribution to the overall facial profile. However this should only be considered after an orthodontic specialist has thoroughly examined a full diagnostic workup of your condition. Tooth extractions in the wrong situation may produce and adverser result.

Depends on case: The position of the front teeth and the steepness of the lower jaw determines the lip position. In order to achieve ideal facial balance, long term stability and optimal periodontal health the lower front teeth should be positioned upright. If flared or over uprighted the chin will be made worse. Once the correct position is determined it is a simple decision if it should be extraction or not.

Extract teeth does not have any effect on your chin. I will only move the part of the that the hold the teeth in place. Moving you teeth forward or backwards can have an impact on the fullness of your lips which may change the relative appearance of your chin even though your chin itself will be unaffected.
