Protruded Lip Guide

Depending on the patient's condition, protrusion therapy can be performed, such as tooth correction, protruded lip surgery, and double-jaw surgery. If only the teeth protrude without any bone problems, the protrusion can be resolved through tooth correction without surgery. In case of protrusion of gums and teeth, surgery and tooth correction should be performed. The surgeon who has extensive clinical experience can give you the best treatment for you. You must select the best dental clinic.
