Nowadays, young girls are pursuing beauty more and more, wanting to have straight teeth, but they are very worried about all the “complications” that may occur during orthodontic treatment, such as the deepening of the lines. What are the “lines”? The lines of the skin that extend from the nose to the corners of the mouth. If you were to rank the degree of aging of each part of your face, lines would probably be the number one aging feature, making you look serious, haggard, and unkind, and girls would avoid them. Orthodontics vs. lines Starting from the age of 25, the loss of collagen accelerates, and the elastic collagen fiber network that supports the skin gradually loses its strength, and aging appears quietly. According to the observation and analysis of multiple cases of orthodontic treatment, the direct reason for the deepening of the lines is the skin laxity. When the skin is loose, the wrapping force is insufficient, the apple muscle falls down, and its lower edge of the contour will be more clear. When the skin is thin, it is unable to modify the fault between the muscles, forming large cheekbones and at the same time, there will be obvious decree lines. When many adults join the orthodontic army, aging occurs in parallel with orthodontics, and with accelerated collagen loss over the 1.5-2 years of treatment, it’s not surprising that age-enhancing lines appear at the end of orthodontic treatment. In addition, the orthodontic process does have the objective phenomenon of eating inconveniently, which will cause mild atrophy of temporal muscles and bite muscles over time, and the external visualization will manifest itself as a subtle depression and sagging, and the lines will deepen as a result. Correct understanding of the lines and orthodontics The natural aging of the human body occurs every moment, and is an irreversible process, after orthodontics, lines worsen, sometimes because of the parallel with the aging, sometimes because of the impact of the diet, but are not the direct cause of deepening the lines. So, don’t give up a nice straight teeth because of worrying about the lines, you should know that even the most beautiful skin will grow old, but a confident smile can stay with you for a lifetime.
