Can You Get Braces and a Nose Job at the Same Time?

Many people who are currently wearing braces also want to get a nose augmentation to enhance their overall facial harmony.
But is it safe to do both treatments at the same time?
Let’s look at the answer from a medical perspective.

Can you get rhinoplasty while wearing braces?

Yes, you can — but it must be carefully assessed by both specialists (the orthodontist and the facial plastic/rhinoplasty surgeon).

This is because orthodontic treatment affects the position of the jaw and lips, which in turn can change the facial balance.
As the teeth move and the jaw shifts into place, the proportions between the nose, lips, and chin may slightly change.

Special considerations

If you’re in the early stage of orthodontic treatment
→ It’s best to wait until your teeth and jaw position have stabilized so your surgeon can accurately assess your facial structure.
If you’re planning jaw surgery as part of your treatment
→ In this case, it’s recommended to complete the jaw surgery first, and then proceed with rhinoplasty afterward for the best facial balance.

Summary by Dr. Tree (HYC Inter Clinic)

✔️ You can get rhinoplasty while having braces,
but it’s important that both doctors coordinate and plan together to achieve long-term balance and harmony with your facial structure.

Tip

When consulting about rhinoplasty, bring your X-rays or orthodontic treatment plan with you.
This helps the surgeon design a nose shape that truly matches your current and future facial proportions.
