Protruding front teeth (often called “buck teeth”) can affect confidence, lip closure, and even tooth wear. At Seoul Lab Dental Clinic, we offer clear aligners, ceramic/metal braces, and select cosmetic solutions to bring teeth back into balance—planned conservatively and explained in clear, English-friendly terms.
Why Do Front Teeth Protrude?
- Dental crowding/spacing or flared incisors
- Class II bite (upper jaw-to-lower jaw relationship)
- Habits (past thumb sucking, tongue thrust)
- Old restorations or previous orthodontics without retention
A proper diagnosis guides whether we retract teeth, improve bite, or camouflage mild cases cosmetically.
Treatment Options We Offer
Nearly invisible trays gradually retract and realign protruding incisors. Great for mild–moderate cases; attachments and elastics may be used for precise control.
Bracket-and-wire systems deliver strong control for moderate–complex cases. Options include ceramic (tooth-colored) for low-visibility treatment. Elastics, springs, or mini-screws (TADs) may assist retraction.
Careful planning may include interproximal reduction (IPR) to create microns of space, expansion, or extraction in select cases when crowding is severe and profile improvement is desired.
For very mild protrusion or edge flare, porcelain veneers can refine length/shape and perceived position. We recommend orthodontics first when true retraction is needed.
When jaw position—not just tooth position—is the cause, we’ll discuss an orthognathic consult. We coordinate care if surgery is the best path.

Benefits at a Glance
- Improved profile & lip seal

- Regular hygiene visits keep gums healthy during tooth movement
Retainers = Lasting Results
Retention is key. We provide clear retainers (and bonded retainers when indicated) with a wear plan to protect your result long term.
FAQs
Only if crowding is severe or profile improvement requires additional space. We review non-extraction options first.
Both work well. Braces offer maximum control for complex movements; aligners are discreet and effective for many cases. We’ll recommend what fits your goals and anatomy.
Veneers camouflage shape/length but do not truly retract roots. They’re best for mild edge flare or finishing touches after orthodontics.
Minor, temporary changes can occur at the start of treatment—most patients adapt within days.
Pricing & Appointments
We provide transparent pricing based on case complexity (aligners vs. braces, expected duration). Our English-friendly coordinators help plan visits for expats and travelers and can compress scheduling when needed.
