Can braces fix uneven teeth length from lip biting ?

March 20, 2017
Asked By:arturo_1206 in Los Angeles, CA

Half my front teeth are shorter beacuse I have a habit of biting my lip. I would like to get braces to even out my length but I'm not sure if it's possible. I also feel as if braces would help me quit biting my lip. Is it possible?
