I am 22 and i need a minor correction for my lower jaw and also does brace improve lip profile

Q. Hi dr Riten as you mentioned in your previous response to my query that Minor jaw corrections can be treated with orthodontic appliances although these are generally more effective when you are growing (between 13-17 years old). I am 22 year old and what is possibility and although from my appearnce it seems that only minor correction of lower jaw is needed. and also does braces make lips profile better? many thanx in advance and i am looking forward to hear from you.

A. It is difficult to give you exact answers without seeing.  Depending on the current position of your teeth the lip profile should improve with orthodontics.  In terms of jaw sometimes this can be improved with certain appliances non surgically.
