Cosmetic Dentistry for Protruding Teeth (or Buck Teeth) Straightening

Protruding Teeth: A Common Case Regardless of Ethnicity

Protruding teeth (or buck teeth, overbite) are one of the most common types of malocclusions (misalignment of teeth).

Even among celebrities and models, many originally had protruding teeth. Causes of protruding teeth can vary widely, including a small jaw, large teeth, natural skeletal structure, and genetics.

Correcting Protruding Teeth Can Transform Facial Impressions

The alignment of your teeth can significantly alter the impression of your face.

Many people with protruding teeth are self-conscious, often covering their mouth with their hand when speaking or smiling.

Having a complex about teeth alignment may lead to less smiling, casting a dimmer aura and adversely affecting first impressions.

By straightening protruding teeth, facial expressions and smiles become noticeably brighter, bringing out an individual’s true charm to its fullest potential.

Ceramic Crowns are Recommended for Protruding Teeth (or Buck Teeth) Treatment

For those troubled by protruding teeth, cosmetic dentistry using ceramic crowns come highly recommended. Ceramic crowns can quickly improve protruding teeth, while also adjusting the shape, whiteness, and size of the teeth.

Cosmetic dentistry using ceramic crowns not only eliminates complexes but also creates an attractive smile that complements the patient’s facial features, desires, and individuality.

Improving Protruding Teeth in as Short as Two Weeks

Our cosmetic dentistry offers a treatment that can improve teeth alignment in a very short period.

While traditional wire braces typically require about 1.5 to 2 years of treatment, cosmetic dentistry using ceramic crowns, especially with short-term intensive treatment, can be completed in as short as two weeks. This has made it a popular option for those coming from abroad seeking high-quality treatment within a short timeframe.

A Cost-Effective Way to Improve Protruding Teeth

Unlike wire braces or aligners that move the entire set of teeth, our cosmetic dentistry corrects teeth alignment by covering them with ceramic crowns.

Those wishing to correct their protruding teeth at a relatively low cost often choose this method as their preferred option.

Especially for those coming from abroad, many opt for our ceramic crown treatment due to its cost-effectiveness compared to the prices of treatments in their home countries.

Detailed Simulation at the Temporary Tooth Stage

【Temporary Teeth Stage】

In cosmetic dentistry using ceramic crowns, simulations of tooth size, shape, and color are performed at the temporary tooth stage.

The alignment of teeth and the overall impression of the face can significantly change with just a few millimeters of adjustment in the angle and protrusion of the teeth.

At White White Dental Clinic, we first accurately replicate the desired outcome at the temporary tooth stage and proceed to check it towards the final stage.

By finely adjusting the tilt of the teeth and the condition of the front teeth at the temporary stage, patients can experience directly how their teeth alignment will change with ceramic crowns.

We order the ceramics only after ensuring the patient’s satisfaction, allowing us to accurately recreate the desired appearance of their smile.

Ideal Smiles Achieved by Adjusting Tooth Shape, Size, and Color

With ceramic crowns, you can choose the color, shape, and size of your teeth to your preference.

Whether you desire the cute, rounded teeth of an idol or the perfectly aligned and white teeth of a model, we can recreate your smile exactly as you imagine it.

You can also select the level of whiteness for your teeth, ranging from the natural brightness of whitening treatments to the bright white seen in celebrities.

By addressing complexes, we can collaboratively create the “ideal smile” you desire to have. Many people choose ceramic crown treatment as the final touch in their cosmetic enhancements.

You’ll spend a few days with the temporary teeth, allowing you to assess not only their comfort in your mouth but also how they harmonize with your overall facial structure

We will inquire again about your preferences for the final ceramics, such as ‘I want the front teeth a bit smaller’ or ‘I’d like the teeth to be more retracted,’ to ensure they meet your expectations.
