Braces are a solution that many people seek to improve the aesthetics of their teeth, thereby changing their face. So what is the truth about braces changing the face? Is that true? Read the content below immediately to know the answer.

1. What is a beautiful face?

According to experts, a beautiful face will have harmonious, contrasting lines. For men and women, there will be different standards.

1.1. Criteria for evaluating a beautiful female face

There are two ways to evaluate a beautiful female face: dividing the face in proportions of 1/3 and 1/5. A face that meets one of these two criteria will be considered a beautiful face.

1.1.1. How to determine the 1/5 ratio

The 1/5 ratio standard is the ratio divided vertically across the face, calculated as follows: from the highest peak of the left ear to the highest peak of the right ear into a rectangular frame. Then divide this frame into 5 equal parts. A beautiful face will have the following ratio:

  • The distance from the top of the left or right ear to the corner of the eye on both sides is 1/5.
  • The distance from the corner of the eye to the corner of the eye is also 1/5 (applies to both left and right eyes).
  • Nose width (distance between the two corners of the eye) is 1/5.

1.1.2. How to determine the golden ratio 1/3

Similar to how to determine the beautiful face ratio 1/5, but the ratio 1/3 is divided horizontally. Calculate from the top of the head to the top of the chin into a rectangle and divide into 3 equal parts. A beautiful face according to the 1/3 ratio is a face that meets the following conditions:

  • The distance from the eyebrows to the forehead accounts for 1/3 of the rectangle.
  • The distance from the line through the tail of the eyebrows to the line through the tip of the nose accounts for 1/3 of the rectangle.
  • The distance from the tip of the nose to the tip of the chin accounts for 1/3 of the rectangle.

1.2. How to evaluate a beautiful face in men?

In men, there are not many indicators or ratios like in women to be considered as having a beautiful face. Men only need to have the following characteristics to be considered a handsome and dashing face.

Considering the overall face: The overall face is an indispensable factor when evaluating a man's face. When dividing a face vertically into 2 equal parts, they must be balanced and symmetrical to each other. The bridge of the nose can be taken as the standard center. Men often have thick eyebrows to show masculinity and strength.

Considering the forehead: A man's forehead needs to have a certain height and width. Not too protruding or too wide or too narrow. The protrusion of the forehead does not extend beyond the tip of the nose or the bridge of the nose. From the top of the nose to the middle of the forehead, an angle of 135 degrees must be created.

In terms of eyes: Eyes are the most attractive element on a man's face. In men, it is only necessary to have a balanced distance between the two faces, not skewed or crooked to one side, and does not need to have double eyelids or long eyelashes... like in women. The length of the two eyes must be equal and less than 1/3 of the width of the entire face.

In terms of nose shape: Men or women with a high, straight nose bridge attract more attention. In particular, in men, the nose has an L-shaped shape, the nostrils are tapered to form an A with the tip of the nose, and the nostrils are covered by the tip of the nose. The width of the nose should only be 1/5 of the width of the face.

In terms of chin and jaw shape: A man's face is considered beautiful when the jaw bone is compact and has sharp lines. Jawbones that are square or too developed or protruding will make the entire face appear rough and unnatural.

2. Can braces change the face to make it more beautiful?

To answer the question of whether braces make the face smaller, orthodontic experts said that, in essence, braces will not directly affect the facial skeleton, but it can only correct and move the teeth to the desired position and bring the bite to the correct standard. This change in bite will also lead to a change in the angle of the nose and lips, creating the feeling of a smaller face.

In some cases where the teeth are severely misaligned, leading to a misaligned bite, after braces, the bite is also adjusted to be more balanced, thereby making the face more balanced. When both teeth and bite are corrected, facial aesthetics and smile will be significantly improved. In particular, it can help you have a slimmer Vline face.

2.1. Creating a Vline chin

During the braces process, your bite relationship will change a lot, so the facial relationship will also change to a certain extent. This is especially evident in cases of severe overbite when the upper teeth protrude too much in front of the teeth while the remaining teeth develop poorly or normally.

At the end of the braces process, the protruding teeth will be spread evenly, the bite will be pulled back to the correct position, so the face will be narrowed without protruding, creating the feeling of a higher nose.

2.2. Slimming the face

When experiencing an underbite, the lower jaw bone will usually develop more than the upper jaw bone. Similar to protruding teeth, braces will completely overcome the underbite situation and the face will no longer have the plowshare condition and the chin will feel slimmer, the face will be smaller.

In some cases, braces can also make the lips more beautiful and more natural because during the braces process, the dental arch and jawbone will be shaped and changed more than before. Lips are supported by teeth and jawbone, so they will also change accordingly.

2.3. Braces help overcome the phenomenon of facial misalignment

When teeth and jawbone are misaligned, it will lead to a misaligned bite, and the face will also be misaligned and unbalanced. Braces will change the bite and bring it back to normal, so the face will also become more balanced and harmonious.

However, some cases of facial misalignment due to bone structure will not change much with braces alone.

At Lac Viet Intech, you will get braces with exclusive X - Matrix technology. Webceph -In X - matrix software will realistically simulate the tilt angle after treatment. From there, it helps doctors plan optimal treatment, aiming for two purposes: optimizing aesthetics and dental function, and optimizing facial aesthetics.

Based on Cephalo film analysis and multidimensional webceph images in the X - matrix, reconstruction of the lower face layer helps doctors evaluate treatment methods, calculate the entrance and exit of the upper and lower lip in close contact with the aesthetic line E.

Calculate the relationship between the two lower jaws, calculate tooth and tooth movement, soft tissue movement thereby optimizing facial aesthetic indicators: nose-lip angle, chin-lip angle.

3. How do braces help change the face?

There are many customers who have successfully had braces and said their faces have improved a lot: more balanced, more v-line, slimmer and they smile more confidently and radiantly.

Nguyen Thi Yen (20 years old), once encountered severe buck teeth and misaligned bites, leading to a clearly visible protrusion of the upper jaw when viewed from an angle or from the front. After 24 months of braces, Yen said: "Currently, my teeth are evenly spaced, my overbites are reduced a lot, my bite is no longer misaligned even when viewed from an angle.

My face has also had many changes. First, it no longer protrudes, secondly, the angle of my nose and lips has changed so my nose feels taller and my face is much smaller. If I had known that braces would change this much, I would have had braces sooner."

Nguyen Mai Anh (23 years old) is also a typical case of braces changing her face because her face was previously skewed to the right due to a misaligned bite. But since getting braces, your bite has gradually been adjusted to the center, so your face has also been adjusted significantly.

Now your face is no longer lopsided like before but is much more balanced. Mai Anh said, now you are very happy because your facial aesthetics have been completely improved, your psychology is more comfortable and more confident.
