What's the difference between tiger teeth and buck teeth?
Buck teeth, only the teeth protrude forward, the angle is too big, and the upper lip and nose are not protruding. If you are skinny, your teeth and the base of your maxilla protrude forward, and your lips can't wrap around your teeth, so too many teeth are exposed, which is most obvious when you laugh. Some gums are also exposed, affecting the image, and so is the chin. The labial groove of chin becomes shallow or disappears, and your chin shrinks backwards. This is the characteristic of bony buckteeth in maxillary protrusion. Generally speaking, buck teeth are caused by three situations:

1. Dental cause: It is caused by dental cause, and only teeth can be corrected during treatment. Teeth can also be corrected by ordinary orthodontics according to their own dental conditions.

2. Skeletal cause: The teeth are arranged normally, which is mainly caused by alveolar bone protrusion, and jaw correction surgery is needed.

3. Mixed type: both dental type and bone type. The ideal treatment should be to move the bones and teeth simultaneously.

Buckteeth of maxillary protrusion can be corrected by surgical orthodontics. This operation does not need to endure the huge trauma of opening the supporting bone, but only needs to open the alveolar bone through a small incision and directly adjust the relationship between the teeth and the jaw, so as to correct the buck teeth and achieve a good occlusal relationship. The whole operation only takes 30-60 minutes, and there is no need to suffer from braces for 2-3 years. After surgery, you can leave the hospital, and at the same time, you can improve your teeth perfectly, change your face shape, make your face look softer, and smile to the perfect standard effect.
