Did your mouth go wide after installing braces on

your teeth? How can you make your mouth smaller after removing braces?

The mouth does not widen with the use of braces. Only repositioning of the teeth in a more esthetic position takes place.

The soft tissues of the mouth are unaffected by orthodontic treatment when done correctly. Thats because, remodelling of the bones in the mouth i.e the alveolar processes of the maxilla and mandible; and palate takes place.

Orthodontic treatment is mostly cosmetic correction of malpositioned teeth, and if it would have caused such unwanted changes, it would not be so popular. So do not worry and go ahead with the treatment from any good orthodontist.
