Facial aesthetic defect is obviously different from facial aesthetic standard. Orthodontic treatment may expose or even magnify other facial aesthetic defects while solving patients' main problems. There are many aesthetic traps in facial bone structure, soft tissue and teeth. Orthodontists should comprehensively recognize patients' dentofacial aesthetic defects. When solving major problems, we should keep an eye on the changes of minor problems and other uncontrollable factors. Potential risks should be clearly recognized and prevented.
面部的骨结构、软组织、牙体均可存在一些与面部美学标准有明显差异的面部美学缺陷，当正畸治疗解决患者主诉后，患者治疗前就已存在的其他面部美学缺陷可能被暴露或被放大。因此，正畸医师应全面检查患者口腔及颌面部的美学问题，在诊断、设计并实施正畸治疗解决主要问题的同时，注意次要问题的改变及其他不可控因素，清晰地认识潜在的风险，并作好防控措施。.
