Will orthodontic treatment make lips thinner?

Everyone pursues beauty. With the development of modern medical technology, many people with congenital tooth defects want to restore their teeth to straightness through orthodontic surgery. Some people have thick lips due to long-term protruding teeth or buck teeth, so they think that if their teeth become straight, will their lips become thinner?

Orthodontic treatment will not make your lips thinner. But it may be due to the inward movement of the teeth. The convexity of the lips will be reduced. But it depends on the specific situation. If your lips are thick and need to be thinned, you may need to consider plastic surgery.

Correcting teeth has nothing to do with thin lips. After orthodontic surgery for buck teeth, the upper lip will be significantly smaller because the buck teeth are too prominent and the lips tend to stick outward. After correction, it will naturally be balanced with the facial proportions. It is recommended that you develop an orthodontic plan based on your own situation.

Correcting teeth has nothing to do with the thickness of the lips. The thickness of the lips is related to one's living habits and genetic factors since childhood. Therefore, correcting teeth cannot change the thickness of the lips.

When a person has buck teeth, his teeth protrude forward and his lips are thick. But after the buck teeth are corrected, they no longer protrude forward and his lips are retracted. How is it possible that their lips become thinner? More importantly, orthodontic treatment cannot change the thickness of lips.

If protruding lips are caused by uneven teeth, orthodontic treatment may be necessary. My lips don't look thick anymore after my teeth are straight. But if the thickness of the lips is not caused by crooked teeth, orthodontic treatment may not be effective.

It is recommended that you go to a more authoritative dental hospital for a general examination and develop an orthodontic plan based on your own situation.
