Is orthodontic facial profile restoration possible after extraction?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Although I cannot say much without actually seeing and examining your case, you cannot go back to your previous state before extraction. It would be too much trauma to the moving teeth and may cause irreparable harm.

You can ask your orthodontist to finish your case as aesthetically as possible, then go for some smile design with veneers on the front teeth if needed.

Kindly attach pictures of your front teeth and face to give further treatment plans.

Thank you

I have seen the attached picture (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). You can continue the treatment and close the space by pulling the front teeth to the back, and you may get an adequate smile.

The other option is if you do not want the front teeth to return to the extracted space, then ask the orthodontist to bring the posterior teeth to the space.

Still, I feel the best option is to continue with how your orthodontist is currently doing to straighten the teeth and reduce the slight tilt of your front teeth. Finally, you can ask the doctor to smooth the edges of all six front teeth to get a straight line and to reduce the height of the upper front teeth.

Thank you.

I suggest the better option would be to pull the front teeth inside. As in the picture (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), your front teeth seem slightly protruded and tilted.

Making them straight and aligned will give a better look, so continue with the treatment, and it will be fine. In all of the pictures of your face, there is some protrusion, so your face will look more aesthetic after treatment.

Your apprehension will go away with time as the smile will only get better.

Thank you.

If you have decided to close the space without taking the front teeth back, you can ask your dentist to bring the posterior teeth forward one by one. No need to get implants.

Your orthodontist has to bring the teeth forward one by one and close the space. Give clear instructions that you want to bring the posterior teeth forward one by one to prevent retraction, and you will get nearly the same position that you have currently.

Thank you.

Sorry, but it is not possible to go exactly like before. Is your doctor an orthodontist with experience or a general dentist?

Thank you.

Yes, it may be possible, bringing your aesthetics as before. It may be fine if the orthodontist has seen your case directly. But I confirm that closing the upper space by bringing back teeth to the front and lower space by retracting the front teeth may result in a deep bite.

Thank you.
