If I told you that orthodontic treatment has the power to give you a facelift, you’d probably call me crazy. But it’s true.

If you have a significant issue with your bite then your treatment might just deliver a whole lot more than just straight teeth.

The following list of bite problems are also the ones likely to dramatically improve the appearance of your entire face once they’re corrected.
- Underbite
- Overbite
- Crossbite
- Openbite
- Front teeth protrusion
How do they impact the face?
So why do these bite issues have such a dramatic impact on our face? It’s because they have a lot to do with the shape and position of your mouth, lips, jawline and chin.
The lower jaw position also dictates the position of the chin, which in turn alters the position of the mouth and lips, not to mention your ability to eat or speak.
If you have a significant issue with your bite then your treatment might just deliver a whole lot more than just straight teeth.

Conclusion
Having straight teeth is bound to give you additional confidence, but if your treatment is addressing one of the issues listed above, then your results could be truly life changing.
