Can wisdom teeth really make your face thinner?
Nowadays, many girls, for the sake of beauty, even hesitate to have plastic surgery, not to mention a few useless wisdom teeth. Recently, the circle of friends has been saying that you can pull out your wisdom teeth and thin your face. This seems to be the savior of many girls. They can pull out wisdom teeth and have plastic surgery. If there is really a pie in the sky, there is no need to have a face-lifting needle or face-lifting, then can wisdom teeth really face-lifting?

1, can you really lose face by pulling wisdom teeth?

In order to lose face, she pulled out four wisdom teeth.

27-year-old Siqi lives in Jiang Bin Community of World Trade Center and has been suffering from wisdom teeth for many years. Since her freshman year, four wisdom teeth have been "making trouble". Often this wisdom tooth is inflamed, and the other one begins to hurt again, which not only affects the face, but also affects eating, making her miserable. The most serious inflammation was in my junior summer vacation. I went to the hospital with a fever because of inflammation of my wisdom teeth.

Under such painful circumstances, I heard that it is very painful to pull out wisdom teeth, and Siqi has been afraid to go to the hospital for tooth extraction.

Last month, Siqi's wisdom teeth became inflamed again. Her friend advised her to simply pull out her wisdom teeth and lose face. She also said that it was rumored on the Internet that a star's round face turned into an awl face after pulling out his wisdom teeth. She was moved and went to the hospital for an X-ray. The doctor found that two of her four wisdom teeth were dislocated, and two of them didn't grow out. So Siqi pulled out her wisdom teeth one by one in stages. Last Wednesday, the last wisdom tooth was finally pulled out.

"It's too uncomfortable. Pulling out wisdom teeth is a painful memory. I hope I won't pull out my teeth again. And those rumors on the internet are simply not reliable. You see, my face is still so round. " Si Qi said that the teeth were gone, but the thin face was really hopeless.

Doctor: It is not reliable that wisdom teeth can thin face.

For this reason, the reporter searched Weibo and major forums, and many netizens posted that wisdom teeth would be thinner.

In this regard, the reporter consulted Dr. Li, the attending surgeon of Hangzhou Stomatological Hospital. He introduced that the extraction of wisdom teeth has no effect on the change of face shape, and the width of cheeks has nothing to do with wisdom teeth. The face is propped up like a tent by cheekbones, maxilla and mandible. The size of the skeleton determines the general shape of the face. The muscles and teeth of the face only have a certain detail modification effect on the face. Mandibular angle and masseter muscle are the main structures that affect the width of the lower face. Masseter muscle is a muscle attached to zygomatic process, zygomatic arch and mandibular angle of maxilla. Plastic surgery can change the face width and face shape through mandibular angle osteotomy and mandibular grinding.

Then, why do some people think that after wisdom teeth are pulled out, it is really a "facelift"? Dr. Li explained that the so-called "pulling wisdom teeth and thin face" may be just an illusion. Because after wisdom teeth are pulled out, a few people may have swollen faces within three to five days. When facial edema subsides and returns to its original shape, it may give people the illusion of "thin face". In addition, within one or two weeks after tooth extraction, there will be some obstacles in diet, especially in the first three days. Doctors generally recommend eating soft food. Plus pain affects rest, "people are thin" is also a matter of course.

As the "old Yao" of the tooth family, there is not enough space for wisdom teeth to erupt, so some of them lie across the gums, some lean on the "brothers" in front, and occasionally move and squeeze the "stratum". There is also a kind of wisdom teeth "lazy", even the gums are too lazy to open, but they are often inflamed to make people fidget.

These kinds of wisdom teeth are all recommended by doctors to be pulled out. Not only do they have no effect, repeated inflammation can also cause local inflammation, and severe osteomyelitis can also "implicate" other healthy teeth. Those lazy wisdom teeth that have room for growth can ask a dentist for help if they want to keep them, so that the growth resistance of wisdom teeth is less, inflammation is reduced, and wisdom teeth can grow in place faster.

2. Should wisdom teeth be pulled out?

(1) First, clarify a misunderstanding that not all wisdom teeth need to be removed.

Wisdom teeth without tooth extraction

1, the position is relatively positive, and it is expected to erupt normally or has erupted normally, so it is not embedded.

2. There is no history of inflammation and pain in the soft tissue around the crown of wisdom teeth, and there is no dental caries in wisdom teeth.

3, the upper and lower wisdom teeth bite regularly.

(2) wisdom teeth that must be removed

1, impacted wisdom teeth

A common problem is that such wisdom teeth are usually buried in alveolar bone. If inflammation often occurs or lesions are diagnosed, they must be removed.

2, wisdom teeth rot

If there are deep holes in wisdom teeth, especially those requiring root canal treatment, it is recommended to remove them.

3, cause adjacent tooth lesions

If there is not enough room for growth, wisdom teeth will continue to grow against adjacent teeth, which may cause both teeth to fall out.

4. When wisdom teeth erupt, insufficient space leads to pericoronitis.

If the growth space of wisdom teeth is insufficient, there will be more serious symptoms such as gingival swelling and toothache during the growth of wisdom teeth.

5, local is not easy to clean, easy to produce tooth decay.

6. No gnashing of teeth

If there is no competitive wisdom tooth occlusion on the opposite side of the wisdom tooth, sometimes there will be excessive eruption and elongation of the wisdom tooth, which will affect the occlusion. At this time, wisdom teeth should be pulled out.

3. What is the harm of wisdom tooth extraction?

As an operation, tooth extraction does have certain risks, but for normal people, this risk is very small. Wisdom teeth bring great pain to patients, but what patients are really afraid of is the pain and surgical injury during tooth extraction.

"Although you will feel the doctor's operation when pulling teeth, such as tooth shaking and warping, gum peeling, etc., the current anesthesia effect can be completely painless. As for the injury, as long as it is surgery, it cannot be avoided. Moreover, the teeth grow on the jaw, and there is more or less damage to the bones and surrounding soft tissues when the teeth are extracted. " Dental experts say that as long as doctors are careful and skilled, injuries can be minimized. Moreover, the oral and maxillofacial structure is special and often recovers faster than other parts of the body.

Four, the following three groups of people can't pull out wisdom teeth.

1, the elderly. Because the growing point of wisdom teeth happens to be a branch of trigeminal nerve, if it is not handled well, it may affect the feeling of eyes, teeth, gums, lips and tongue. For adults, the growth of mandibular and wisdom tooth roots has been fixed, and the operation of removing wisdom teeth is more dangerous. This is why the earlier mentioned above, the better;

2, diabetes, heart disease and other patients, they are easy to cause complications when pulling teeth.

3. It is best for women to avoid menstrual period. Because pregnant women involve the fetus, they can only pull out their teeth when they are 4 to 6 months pregnant, and it is best to pull out their teeth after pregnancy.
