Asked By:braces2 in San Diego, CA

My upper lip never cover my front teeth in the rest position. When I try to completely close my mouth, it cause chin dimple. I think I have a short upper lip and also overjet. I'm planning to get invisalign. The dentist will correct my crowded lower teeth by created bigger arch and also correct my overjet by pushing teeth back. He neither take any tooth out nor do the IPR even I do not have any gap upper teeth. Is this the right way to correct the problem? Here are some 3D before and after pic
