I was a special case in that I had fewer teeth than other people, and my upper jaw had not grown as much as my lower jaw, so even my temporomandibular joints were stuck togetherㅠㅠ Wherever I went, they talked about double-jaw surgery, and without even looking at my photos they told me to go to a big hospital.. So it took more than a year just to find a clinic. There was basically no hospital in Seoul I hadn’t tried. Then I started orthodontic treatment at a dental clinic in Suwon, and people around me say I’ve changed a lot. People say facial shape doesn’t change, but in my case my lower face has softened a lot.
What I want to say is that whether it’s orthodontics or double-jaw surgery, you need to be on the same page as the doctor, and choose someone who explains things confidently and realistically in detail! And above all, don’t do it at a place that tries to use unrealistic temporary fixes. At one clinic, they even suggested extracting five teeth and rearranging them. Looking beautiful right away is important, but since these are teeth you’ll use for the rest of your life, I think it’s best to go to a clinic that considers the root cause together with you! Everyone has different concerns, but I think the feeling of wanting to look better is the same! I hope this helps, and let’s become prettier together!♡
