Lip shortening

It may be that the main reason for the lip covering your teeth is not that the lip itself is too long, but that the height of the maxillary bone is too short. Speak with your orthognathic surgeon about this, to determine the correct reason for the issue. Bony deficiency would best be treated with an osteotomy and bone graft, I'd think. All the best
