As the title says, could wearing braces to correct teeth improve upper lip, if the problem is that upper teeth tip backwards slightly? So when I look at my smile from the profile, my teeth aren't exactly at 90° from a horizontal, they're rather close to 100°. Now say braces tip those teeth out to be at 90, would teeth push out the upper lip and make it more defined? My philtrum is of normal length, but my upper lip sort of curls inwards at rest, and looks narrower than the bottom lip. I also don't have any tooth show with my mouth open at rest. I'd love to fix this as it's really ruining my mouth area and harmony, but I know a lip lift simply isn't an option due to males ending up looking gay, because of scar creation, and in the end my scars always end up visible.
Could this backwards slanting of upper teeth indicate a need for a CCW rotation? I have a long midface with a long nose, and a narrow IPD.
Also, who should I see to have CT scans of my face done? An orthodontist or a maxillofacial surgeon? Who would be more qualified to pinpoint the skeletal problem and steer me in the right direction?
Also, my bite is currently normal, but my bottom teeth are at 90° as opposed to upper teeth leaning backwards to meet them. Does that mean if I corrected backwards slanting teeth, I'd have to bring the lower jaw out to meet the upper teeth? I'd like to fix the underlying cause of disharmony, and not opt for camouflage procedures and still end up with a shit jaw and smile.
My face looks so much more balanced and harmonious if I pout my upper lip, thereby reducing philtrum length and bringing the upper lip out more, making it actually defined/normal as it's supposed to be, instead of curling inwards at rest.
