Notice the improvement in her facial shape in the AFTER photos. The corners of the eyes are lifted, no double chin, more relaxed symmetrical lips, chin and jaw &#8211; a more attractive appearance! OMT not only leads to a more favorable position of the teeth but also enhances the patients&#8217; overall facial appearance.
