Does orthodontics count as cosmetic surgery?
I think it counts. After all, tooth deformity is not a pathological phenomenon, which neither affects eating nor speaking, but only affects aesthetics. My understanding of plastic surgery is to artificially change the non-pathological structure of the human body. Of course, if the tooth is broken, it needs to be extracted or filled, and it does not belong to the category of plastic surgery. After all, broken teeth will hurt and affect diet.

In fact, cosmetic surgery covers a wide range, and it is not what we think that only surgery is called cosmetic surgery. Some minor plastic surgery, such as orthodontics and eyebrow tattooing, belong to plastic surgery. I also went to the plastic surgery hospital to consult some questions, and I still have some understanding of their internal structure. Stomatology includes tooth washing, cold light whitening and orthodontics. Some people may say that hospitals also have orthodontics. Some hospitals actually have cosmetic surgery departments, which can do a lot of cosmetic surgery, and some specialized dental clinics can also do these orthodontics.

When I was in junior high school, a little girl in our class wore braces to correct her teeth. That was the first time I learned about this technology. My teeth are a little uneven, too. Although it only affects the appearance, it can easily become a very serious disease if you don't pay attention. There is a protruding tooth in my upper row of teeth, commonly known as buck teeth. It's this buck tooth. I don't pay attention when I brush my teeth. Because it is not in the same row as other teeth, it is more difficult to brush, which leads to the early breaking of teeth and several repairs. Therefore, we should pay attention to these problems as soon as possible when our teeth are still healthy.
