Question 1: Will wisdom teeth removal change the shape of the face? Many female friends are very envious of small faces like Cecilia Cheung and Yang Mi, so they want to achieve face slimming through various methods including removing wisdom teeth.

Yang Mi The evolution of human jaws has left wisdom teeth nowhere to survive. Wisdom teeth are also called third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, establishment teeth, and terminal teeth. The origin of the name of wisdom teeth has to do with the time of eruption and has nothing to do with intelligence. Wisdom teeth usually erupt after the age of 18. At this time, people's physical and psychological development are close to maturity, and they are considered to be the age group with wisdom, so they are called wisdom teeth. If a person has all wisdom teeth, there should be 4, one on the innermost side of the gum, one on the top, bottom, left, and right. However, some people often can only grow one or two wisdom teeth, and some people's wisdom teeth stop growing when they reach half of their length. This condition is medically called impacted wisdom teeth. In ancient times, humans relied on eating animal meat and rough wild plants to survive, so they needed 32 teeth and huge jaws. With the advancement of society, human food has become increasingly sophisticated, people's teeth have become rounded and blunt, and the jaws have become smaller. At this time, there are still 32 teeth arranged, which is inevitably crowded, causing various discomfort symptoms in our mouths. Why are modern people’s wisdom teeth prone to inflammation? Wisdom teeth begin to grow many years after the 28 teeth erupt, and their positions are often occupied by teeth that have already erupted. When wisdom teeth erupt, some impacted tooth surfaces are covered by gum tissue, forming blind pockets in which food residues tend to accumulate. Improper cleaning can easily lead to infection, local redness, swelling and inflammation, and blind pocket overflowing with pus, which is medically called wisdom tooth pericoronitis. It can range from pericoronal redness, swelling and pain to severe symptoms such as local suppuration, restricted mouth opening, maxillofacial swelling, systemic fever, and even osteomyelitis of the jaw. Whether to remove wisdom teeth requires a professional doctor’s judgment. Many people think that wisdom teeth are difficult to clean and can easily cause toothache, so they should be removed first regardless of whether they are inflamed or not. This is actually a misunderstanding. Whether to remove wisdom teeth should be decided based on the degree and position of the impacted wisdom teeth (mesial, distal, buccal, lingual, etc.), whether they have chewing function, whether they are often complicated by inflammation, etc. This requires a professional doctor to make a judgment after examination. . Wisdom teeth are not useless. If the wisdom teeth are in good position and there are no symptoms such as tooth decay, inflammation, or suppuration, it is recommended to keep them. Wisdom teeth that need to be removed have the following conditions: malposition, failure to erupt normally, history of wisdom tooth pericoronitis and pain, caries, no opposing teeth, no occlusal relationship, etc. If you want your wisdom teeth to erupt smoothly, you must strengthen your jaw exercises. You can eat more whole grains, fiber foods and hard and wear-resistant foods during childhood, such as ribs, beef jerky, sesame seed cakes, nuts, etc. Can wisdom teeth removal help slim down the face? At present, there is no medical data showing that removing wisdom teeth can slim down the face, let alone change the Chinese-shaped face into an oval-shaped face. The outline of the human face is composed of cheekbones, mandibles and teeth. When wisdom teeth grow in, the shape of a person's face has basically been finalized. The facial bones will not shift or deform after tooth extraction, so it will not have a significant impact on the face shape. Some people may have wisdom teeth that are inflamed, causing swelling. After the wisdom teeth are removed, the swelling disappears and the face naturally looks thinner. Professional dentists do not encourage the removal of wisdom teeth for the sake of slimming the face, because wisdom teeth removal is a relatively complicated oral surgery. Many people's wisdom teeth are not fully developed and grow in the wrong position, and they may even grow on nerves. Removing such wisdom teeth easily is not only painful but also risky. Therefore, you must go to a professional medical institution for a preliminary examination, and a professional doctor will determine whether it is really necessary to remove the wisdom teeth.

Although the four wisdom teeth can grow in in various ways, even if they are removed, it will not change the shape of the face much. .

After the wisdom teeth are removed, the swelling in the cheeks subsides and the upper face feels smaller. They think it is the face-slimming effect of wisdom teeth removal. . This is actually mainly due to my own psychological effect, and the alveolar bone has not become smaller due to this.

There is no inevitable relationship between tooth extraction and face slimming. The reason why some people lose weight after wisdom teeth removal is because the facial muscles are very thin, and the facial muscles will feel sunken after wisdom teeth removal; if the muscle layer is thicker, the sunken effect will not be visible at all. Face slimming is also related to the absorption of the cheek bones. If the bones still maintain their original shape after tooth extraction, the cheeks will not be sunken.

Even though it is very slow, it is recommended to take one less injection. The anesthetic was less of an injection. I was given the maximum amount of anesthesia by the doctor, and the nerve was stabbed. Ten years have passed, and now when I look at my chin in the mirror, I do feel that it is asymmetrical, and my perfect smile has been damaged. That unscrupulous doctor took it away. . .
