I have a recessed maxilla and a crossbite. It creates the look of an underbite. What are my options, surgical and nonsurigcal?

I have a recessed maxilla/a crossbite. I know midface implants or jaw surgery can be used to bring my cheeks forward & rhinopalsty can help with my nasal dip, but what can I do so that my upper lip & lower lip are even when I smile? Normally my lower lip rolls forward when I make facial expressions & if I smile you can only see the lower portion of my top row teeth. They're thinner than my bottom teeth. Would Invisalign help? #underbite #invisalign #maxilla #underbite #nonsurgicaloptions
