Lip Incompetence, is It Fixable? (photo)

I had braces for an open bite, but I still have lip incompetence and a weird profile. Since my bite is good, I dont think insurance would cover a lefort. I was wondering if a genio or maybe even another round of braces with extractions(have all my teeth including wisdom) would possibly help my lips close naturally? Thanks in advance.
