If the chin is still crooked after biting for a long time, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up, otherwise it may be difficult to correct. If the chin is slightly and not obviously crooked, there is no need to worry. If it is severely crooked, it may cause physical and mental discomfort. This should be taken seriously. If it is severely crooked, go for a check-up in time. Let's talk about how to correct a crooked chin caused by orthodontic treatment so that everyone can get better relief.

1. If you find that your jaw is crooked after orthodontic treatment, you can make improvements by changing some lifestyle habits.

You can exercise by chewing gum with the teeth on both sides alternately and improve your habits by chewing less hard food. In addition, you should also pay attention to your sleeping position. Do not lie on one side all year round. You can switch between lying on the left and right sides or lie flat.

2. The chin deviation can be adjusted appropriately through hot compress therapy, acupuncture and massage. After orthodontic treatment, if you find that your jaw or face has become crooked, you can apply a hot water bottle or hot towel to the mandibular joint and massage it while applying the heat. Applying the heat for about 15-20 minutes a day can appropriately adjust the crooked jaw. You can also go to a regular Chinese medicine hospital for physical therapy or acupuncture and massage, and you can also correct your chin appropriately.

3. Massage the jaw area properly every day, which can help adjust the crooked jaw over time. The phenomenon of crooked chin after orthodontic treatment can also be improved by daily massage. You need to slowly open and close your mouth, make a fist with your five fingers, and press the lower jaw with the knuckles of the fist or extend two fingers. You can also massage while applying hot compress or steaming your face. If you insist on proper massage for a period of time every day, the crooked chin can be adjusted over time.

4. If the crooked chin does not look very obvious, you can use some chin-lifting essence to adjust the face shape appropriately. If your chin is not obviously crooked but you are worried about whether it will affect your appearance, you can use a pure natural chin-lifting essence once before going to bed every day. This is a cosmetic that can adjust the chin and face shape and make it more beautiful. It is recommended to apply it on the chin while massaging the chin to adjust it. After using it for a period of time, the phenomenon of crooked chin will be appropriately alleviated.

5. If you find that your chin is obviously crooked shortly after orthodontic treatment, it is best to consult the doctor who corrected your teeth and let the doctor determine whether you need surgery. If you notice that your jaw is crooked within a few days after you had your teeth straightened, it is best to go to the hospital where you had your teeth straightened as soon as possible and have the doctor take some X-rays and do some examinations. If the examination finds that your jaw is severely crooked, you may need orthodontic surgery to restore your jaw to its original position.

6. If you discover that your chin is crooked after a long period of orthodontic treatment, you can go to a plastic surgery hospital or beauty salon to adjust your chin. If you notice your chin is crooked about one or two years after having your teeth straightened, it is best to go to a plastic surgery hospital or beauty salon to adjust your chin. Nowadays, technology is becoming more and more advanced. If you want to adjust your chin to make it more beautiful, there are many types of plastic surgery to choose from, such as chin filling, chin padding, liposuction, bone grinding, etc. It is recommended to go to a large, regular plastic surgery hospital or beauty salon with a good reputation for plastic surgery.

7. After completing surgery to reshape or correct a crooked chin, you need to pay attention to some postoperative care matters. If you find your chin is swollen and painful after the operation, you can use a cold compress bag to apply ice to your jaw for about two or three days after consulting a doctor. You should be careful not to push or touch your chin frequently. You should also pay attention to oral hygiene and rinse your mouth after meals. Try to eat liquid food in the early period after the operation.

8. Pay attention to maintaining a good attitude and mood at ordinary times, and don’t create psychological pressure because of caring about your crooked chin. Many people who love beauty will have strong negative emotions when they find that their face shape is not right or not beautiful enough, which may affect their mental health. Therefore, it is recommended not to be too nervous or anxious. If you can't adjust your mentality and emotions, it is best not to look in the mirror or take pictures frequently, as this may increase psychological pressure. In addition, even if you decide to have surgery, I hope you can face it positively and optimistically.
