I am 36 years of age. i have and overbite that cause my lips to protrude.can braces fix my overbite to make my lips look normal and widen my face?

Orthodontist: Your best bet is to see a local orthodontist for a consultation. Depending on the amount of overbite (and overjet) orthodontic care can slightly change your profile. Your condition may be more skeletal in nature, and that would entail a more complex approach. All the best...

At 36: At 36 Orthodontics can do wonders. As you are no longer growing, there may be some limitations, or the additional services of other specialists may be required. See a fully qualified Orthodontic Specialist for an initial examination (usually free) to discuss. Your choices.

Possibly: If you have most of your adult teeth and no fixed bridgework or implants, it may be possible. Make an appointment with an Orthodontist (usually free) to find out what cAn be done.

Lip support...: Your lips are supported and shaped by your teeth. It depends on the extent of your over bite, the current position of your teeth and the position of the bone surrounding your teeth. You would repuire a complete exam and records to let you know what combination of orthodontics, surgery and restorative dentistry would be needed to get you the look that you are seeking.
