Can braces fix my protruding teeth and improve my side profile? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

I agree with Dr Enrica. When it comes to protruding teeth and facial side profiles, there are always 2 things to consider:

1. Soft tissues such as your lip thickness and length, as well as lip competency (ie whether your lips can close passively when your mouth is at rest, like if you're watching tv for example)

2. Hard tissues such as your teeth and jaw bone.

What we want is for all the components to support and balance out each other harmoniously to give a nice side profile both facially and dentally.

Based on the photos provided, it does look like braces or invisalign can help correct your protruding teeth and it would improve your facial side profile.

Do feel free to reach out if you have any further queries but my advice would be to go for a consultation with a dentist you trust, get a proper diagnosis and xrays done so that you have a clearer understanding of what treatment would be best for you.

All the best!

Warm regards,
