I have protuding front teeth (rabbit teeth). I have

Q. I have protuding front teeth (rabbit teeth). I have investigated braces etc but have been advised that the problem is that I have a short top lip (the distance between my nose and mouth). Is there anything that can be done please?

A. The ways of treating your problem are listed below and may be a combination of them:
1. alter the position of you jaw bone by surgery
2.  alter the positiojn of your teeth with orthodontics/ gum repositioning with veneers or a combination of both
3.  a new technique is limit upper lip movement  but I know very little about this procedure

Hope this helps
