This pressure can cause a phenomenon known as \u201cbone reshaping\u201d where bone under pressure changes its shape slightly to relieve some of the built-up pressure. Changes depend on the extent and angle of pressure exerted which is why it is important to seek professional care when going about the realignment of your oral cavity. Some expected changes are detailed below for reference,<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changes_To_The_Jaw_Bone\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changes To The Jaw Bone:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on whether you have an underbite or overbite, the aligners may apply pressure vertically or horizontally which can realign your jaw bone so that the face may appear to be more circular or elongated as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changes_In_Facial_Symmetry\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changes In Facial Symmetry:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After using aligners to improve teeth position and improving under\/over bite issues, the symmetry can appear to be more natural since your jaw bone is perfectly aligned with the base of the skull. This means a more symmetrical facial appearance can be achieved and the jaw may not look like its protruding inwards or outwards.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changes_In_the_Position_Of_Lips\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changes In the Position Of Lips:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve heard the myth that lips may look bigger after using braces or aligners, but the truth is that they don\u2019t cause dramatic changes in lip size or shape. However, from a certain standpoint, lips may appear to look different but even that will return to looking normal once the braces or aligners are removed. While wearing aligners, lips may seem to look bigger since the aligners can increase the gap between lips and teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Results\"><\/span>Results:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24617\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Can-Aligners-Change-Face-Shape-in-Dubai.jpg\" alt=\"Can Aligners Change Face Shape in Dubai\" width=\"259\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Can-Aligners-Change-Face-Shape-in-Dubai.jpg 259w, https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Can-Aligners-Change-Face-Shape-in-Dubai-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24623\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Can-Aligners-Change-Face-Shape-Clinic-in-Abu-Dhabi.jpg\" alt=\"Can Aligners Change Face Shape Clinic in Abu Dhabi\" width=\"259\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Can-Aligners-Change-Face-Shape-Clinic-in-Abu-Dhabi.jpg 259w, https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Can-Aligners-Change-Face-Shape-Clinic-in-Abu-Dhabi-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24622\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Can-Aligners-Change-Face-Shape-Clinic-in-Dubai-Abu-Dhabi.jpg\" alt=\"Can Aligners Change Face Shape Clinic in Dubai &amp; Abu Dhabi\" width=\"259\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Can-Aligners-Change-Face-Shape-Clinic-in-Dubai-Abu-Dhabi.jpg 259w, https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Can-Aligners-Change-Face-Shape-Clinic-in-Dubai-Abu-Dhabi-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24620\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Best-Can-Aligners-Change-Face-Shape-Clinic-in-Dubai-Abu-Dhabi.jpg\" alt=\"Best Can Aligners Change Face Shape Clinic in Dubai &amp; Abu Dhabi\" width=\"259\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Best-Can-Aligners-Change-Face-Shape-Clinic-in-Dubai-Abu-Dhabi.jpg 259w, https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Best-Can-Aligners-Change-Face-Shape-Clinic-in-Dubai-Abu-Dhabi-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24619\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Best-Can-Aligners-Change-Face-Shape-Clinic-in-Dubai.jpg\" alt=\"Best Can Aligners Change Face Shape Clinic in Dubai\" width=\"259\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Best-Can-Aligners-Change-Face-Shape-Clinic-in-Dubai.jpg 259w, https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Best-Can-Aligners-Change-Face-Shape-Clinic-in-Dubai-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24618\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Best-Can-Aligners-Change-Face-Shape-in-Dubai.jpg\" alt=\"Best Can Aligners Change Face Shape in Dubai\" width=\"259\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Best-Can-Aligners-Change-Face-Shape-in-Dubai.jpg 259w, https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Best-Can-Aligners-Change-Face-Shape-in-Dubai-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Do_They_%E2%80%9CNot%E2%80%9D_Change_Facial_Appearance\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Do They \u201cNot\u201d Change Facial Appearance:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In cases where minor adjustments are required for improving teeth alignment, you may or may not see much of a difference in the shape of your face.
