Will Moving Teeth Backwards Affect Jawline?
Hi Dr, I am looking into invisalign and my orthodontist told me that the results would be push my teeth back as i will need extractions. In this case, if my teeth are going to be moved backwards, does this also affect my jawline or other facial structures?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
The backward movement of teeth does not affect the jaw line , actually it is just the movement of tooth not the bone or bone joint.
Yes definitely some changes will be there, but just a slight decrease in convexity of your face or curve of your face.
Hope it will help you.
