Can braces (without tooth extraction) solve upper lip protrusion? (Photos)

January 7, 2014
Asked By:Telemsan in England, UK

I have 4mm overjet. My orthodontist told me that I need to wear a Damon brace on the upper arch and fixed traditional brace on the bottom one, and I do not need tooth extraction as the overjet is only 4mm in the upper front teeth. Do braces without having tooth extraction solve my upper lip protrusion?do Damon braces work the same as traditional metal braces? Do Damon braces make a smile wider in a bad way? I have a wide smile, so I do not want to have even wider smile. Thanks
