First, I had my first orthodontic treatment about 30 years ago, when I was in middle school. My jaw was very narrow, so with protruding mouth + crooked teeth, the situation was a total mess, and after orthodontic treatment in middle school, my teeth became straight, but the protruding mouth still remained a bit
After I became a college student, the protruding mouth bothered me so much that I kept just worrying about it, and eventually, in my early 30s, I went to about 3-4 consultations for re-orthodontic treatment.. but nobody recommended it? The reason was that even if I did re-orthodontic treatment, compared with the cost and time, the protruding-mouth improvement I wanted would be minimal... And because the current protruding mouth has a slightly younger-looking effect, if I brought it in, I would probably look older.. lol
Still, I couldn’t give up, so I went to a famous clinic in Apgujeong for one last consultation, and after consulting with the director, I felt an enormous amount of trust..... He is also famous in the orthodontics field, and although my case was a very difficult case, he said he was confident lol
I did combination orthodontic treatment for about 2 years, and the treatment ended early this year. In conclusion, I am very satisfied!!! My protruding mouth went right in, and I’m satisfied with the tooth alignment and occlusion too~ As a slight side effect, my upper lip did roll inward a little, but (I know this is unavoidable when correcting a protruding mouth, so it’s okay), I think getting a little lip filler will solve it~~
Anyway, if you have a difficult case or need re-orthodontic treatment, definitely research clinics carefully before doing it...
