Is there a dental procedure that improves facial profile?

Braces/Surgery: Facial profiles can be altered when you have your teeth straightened with orthodontics. Often this will be accompanied by orthognathic (jaw) surgery. Talk to your dentist to see if you are a candidate.

Yes: Depending upon your specific profile, there are things that can be done. See your orthodontist first. They can determine if your skeletal condition is the causative factor or tooth position, or perhaps both. If tooth related , they can offer options; if skeletal, together with the oral surgeon they can offer surgical and orthodontic options. You may also realize a functional benefit.

Absolutely: Sometimes reshaping teeth (crowns) or repositioning teeth (braces or Invisalign) can allow for softening of facial drape. Sometimes repositioning facial bones may be required (braces in growing child, braces and jaw surgery in adults). See a specialist Orthodontist for initial examination (usually free) as the starting point of your investigative process.
