Detailed Orthodontic Treatment for a More Balanced Side Profile
We carefully adjust the position and angle of protruding or overly retracted front teeth to create
a more natural facial profile and an attractive, balanced smile line.
What Is Dental Protrusion?
Dental protrusion refers to a condition in which the front teeth and gums appear more prominent than normal when viewed from the side. It can affect the function of the front teeth, make it difficult to close the lips comfortably, and influence the overall appearance of the facial profile.
What Causes Dental Protrusion?
01
Skeletal Jaw Protrusion
02
Excessive Forward Inclination of the Teeth
04
Thick Lip and Perioral Soft Tissue
What Habits Can Contribute to Protruding Teeth?
01
Frequently resting the chin on one hand
02
Thumb- or finger-sucking habits
03
Frequently pushing or sticking the tongue forward
04
Frequently biting the lower lip
The Square Dental Clinic’s Approach to Protrusion Correction
01
Arch Expansion
In suitable cases, expanding a narrow maxillary dental arch can create additional space for the protruding front teeth to be repositioned without directly altering the jawbone itself.
02
Orthodontic Miniscrews
Orthodontic miniscrews can provide stable skeletal anchorage, allowing controlled backward movement of the teeth to help improve protrusion caused by tooth position.
