Will miniscrew implants change my face shape?

If you are planning to get dental or facial implants as part of your orthodontic treatment (or if you already have implants) you can discuss them on this forum.

Will miniscrew implants change my face shape?

#1 Post by Jen42 »

My braces were supposed to come off a little while ago, but even after 8 months I can't put my front teeth together. My orthodontist said that a miniscrew implant on the roof of my mouth could help with that - the plan is to pull my back molars up a bit by attaching them to a metal bar which is then bound to the implant with wires. If anyone's had something like this done, could you let me know if anything happened? Thanks in advance.
