Will wearing braces change the appearance of my face?

Only by design: Your orthodontic diagnosis and plan should take into consideration facial profile and proportion changes that are desired or wished to be avoided. Treatment with a certified orthodontist means that the face and not just the teeth are integrated into the plan. Lots of facial changes can be made or avoided. A long consult with an orthodontist will fill in the details.
