If desired, treatment with braces, can change the amount of tooth that shows relative to the lips and may change the protrusiveness of the lips. If one jaw is too large relative to the other, surgery in combination with orthodontics is an option. For example, a very large or small chin is routinely taken care of with a combination of orthodontics and surgery.
