Hello Sir, I am 38 year old male and having protruding lips and teeth. I never felt confident while smiling because of this and always try to close my mouth on photos. I would like to fix this through braces or invaslign. Am I a good candidate for braces ? All I wanted is to push my upper lip area back(its bulged now) and hope that will fix my size of upper lips. I can attach my photo if possible.
