What can help my lip incompetence and thin upper lip?

January 15, 2021
Asked By:Lemonem in Ann Arbor, MI

I used to have an underbite, but several years ago I had surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion and braces to correct it. Now my upper lip is much thinner than my lower lip, my lips don't touch when resting, and my upper lip basically disappears in my side profile. What can I do to correct these issues? My primary concern is my lip incompetence, but ideally would like to fix all of these issues with my upper lip.
