Can braces help my protruded philtrum/upper lip? (Photo)

Question

I have protrusion of my upper /philtrum and It makes me insecure. I don't know what treatment or procedure can help, I read that braces can but I would like to know if that is a possibility.

By seeing your photos, I feel you have dental class one but skeletal class three. So it's my advice to visit the orthodontist. Cephalometric analysis is a must in such cases to understand the perfect scenario. I feel you have skeletal excess.

A narrow maxilla can create many issues.  Expansion creates a wide "U" shape vs "V" shape jaw that causes protrusin.

Need a full wide smaile to see width but the deep nasal labial grooves usually occur from inadequate bony support.
Do you also get headaches or neck pain?  TMD issues?
