Orthodontic Relapse - Faceology

How does orthodontic relapse happen? Surely the effects of braces are permanent? Not if the underlying issues aren't addressed first.

Even jaw surgeries can relapse, which seems completely counter-intuitive given that the structure of the jaw is physically being altered. This is a testament to the power of the tongue and the other oral and facial muscles.

A systematic review conducted in 2010 found that up to 60 percent of patients who have had orthognathic surgery can experience relapse over the long-term. Researchers agree that “muscular forces” are the primary drivers in orthognathic surgery relapse. The muscles of the face and mouth are capable of generating surprising amounts of force. If this force is applied for long enough, teeth and bone will yield.

If your mouth is open and your tongue is resting low, you should consider addressing that before you start orthodontic treatment. Ideally, you should work with an orthodontist who refers to a myofunctional therapist or even has one in their practice.

if you are planning on getting a jaw surgery or some kind of orthodontic treatment make sure to masture your oral posture, thats the one of the things mewing is legit when it comes to adults
