A member asked:
Do braces make my lips look bigger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Braces do not have anything to do with your lips. If your lips look fuller after braces, that is because your teeth was so misaligned prior to braces that your lips were folding in. After braces are properly installed, your lips will look as they should.
