I have what i think to be a mild case of bimaxillary protrusion and it causes my lips to be protruded, will braces fix this issue and if not what other possibilities could i go about to fix it?

Orthodontic Consult: To determine exactly what malocclusion you have, it's cause (skeletal or dental), and your treatment options, you really need to be seen by a local orthodontist. Together with an exam and work-up, the orthodontist will explain to you and your parents what can be done and the fees involved.

Bimax Protrusion: Indicates too much tooth material for the amount of supporting bone. But rather than self-diagnosing, which can be problematic, please see a specialist Orthodontist for an Initial Examination (usually free). The Orthodontist can then discuss treatment choices based on an informed diagnosis, over 15,000 hours of training, and years of specialty practice.
