矯正美顏-鵝蛋臉：類整形美容手術效果尋求矯正治療的患者常常對於治療後顏面美觀的改善，抱持著懷疑的態度，這是可以完全理解的。因為對於一般牙醫師從事齒顎矯正，或者齒顎矯正專科醫師從事矯正而言，顏面美觀一直都是非常挑戰的課題。
這位氣質年輕女孩，來求診時並不是因為不美觀的問題，而是希望可以得到更精緻，更有質感的笑容，和更鵝蛋的臉型。矯正前的照片可以發現她其實牙齒排列雖然沒有太差，但是先天缺少一顆下顎門齒，和上下唇微突的外觀。側面的笑容，其實讓原本氣質的外觀，大大打了折扣。所以我們希望讓牙齒排列的更內側、微笑線更順著唇型、鼻子看起來更立體、下巴更有型。葉醫師因為瞭解病患的需求，讓原本就氣質出眾的外觀變得更精緻，而達到矯正治療的極致！
『矯正治療不是解決咬合問題那樣單純，應該是賦予臉部輪廓更深的精神，於言語表情之中傳達迷人線條。它能凝結美感、思想、藝術於治療之間。』
"Orthodontic treatment is not as simple as resolving occlusion problem. It should give the face deeper spirit of beauty thorough facial expression and language. It can combine beauty, thinking and art in the treatment." -Dr. CLY
葉醫師於2005回到台灣，因為從牙醫學院畢業後，隨即受到美國矯正教育的影響，欣賞西方美國歐洲等精緻立體的臉型外觀，如今經過長時間大量治療台灣亞洲人臉型與咬合後發現，『如何得到特別好看、適合我們台灣人臉型的特色，是再重要不過的事！』。這是由西方立體輪廓的審美觀念，經過全球文化交流影響，資訊的發達，而發展出獨特的亞洲人美麗臉孔的輪廓觀念。
Almost 10 years ago, I was trained in the united states right after graduated from dental school, therefore I preferred the more westernized facial profile. However, due to the fast and rapid global information and after treating more patients, I develop myself a more consolidated facial profile concept for the Taiwanese beauties.
在台灣人的臉型中有許多因為『不夠立體或過於突出的上下顎骨』而來尋求矯正治療。然而事實上他們常常遭遇的不是簡單的齒列矯正問題而已，也包含了顎骨或齒槽骨的問題。受到流行時尚文化等韓國影響後，不夠立體或精緻化的臉型並不是一昧地把鼻子或下巴『加高』，因為這樣非但沒有解決過於突出的顎骨和附著於其上的齒列，反而可能產生更為突兀的外觀，而會有說不出哪裡怪，或『不秀氣』感覺。
In Taiwan, lots of our patients come to visit us due to their unpleasant facial profile. In fact, they have not only braces problem alone, but also have the skeletal problem, such as over-growth jaws and protrusive alveolar bones.
Those protrusive facial appearances actually can't be completely resolved by chin augmentation (Genioplasy) or nose augmentation (Rhinoplasty), since the results will be ended up with more protrusive characters on the face, making the appearance look hideous or just not beautiful.
向美麗而充滿自信的輪廓致敬！當上下齒列經由拔牙，而改變前方齒列的位置，尤其是經由較遠距離的移動後，不僅能讓『鼻型』的相對位置較前方而且『下巴』的頂點也會因為下唇的後縮而有較往前的視覺效果。
理想的矯正治療更可進一步的改善咬合平面的斜度，讓下顎骨角向前向下旋轉，更理想化。這樣一來，整個輪廓，就會有偏向柔化，精緻化的感受。這是經由精湛的矯正工藝，與治療前審慎的評估與矯正醫師精益求精的治療理念，才能賦予病患的完美治療
The protrusive dentition can be treated by extraction and moving the front teeth backward to make the nasal profile look more prominent and the chin button look more forward. All of these will make the profile look more westernized and appropriate in shape.
However, before doing this by orthodontically alone, you will need to consult the professional orthodontist, instead of general dentist. The capable orthodontist should provide you the informative data and treatment plan before starting the treatment.
