doubledoubles Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hey Everyone, i'm trying to understand what ASO is for and what 2 Jaw is for and how much 2 jaw vs aso will reduce protruding lips. I did some digging, but there is little information about ASO and how it's evaluated against 2 jaw vs braces on this forum. they both seem to be able to fix protruding lips but i think it depends on the underlying cause? My lip protrusion seems to be caused by teeth slanted outwards, causing a bit excessive of an overjet. Should i go for 2 jaw, aso, or just traditional braces based on what everyone's seen? here's my side xray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortunecat Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I had braces done with 4 wisdom teeth extracted. My face shape/jawline has definitely changed since my pre-braces days. I am sporting a v-line shape after my braces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraneo Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 i would suggest u to visit an orthodontist first to see if braces could fix your problem. find it somewhere near you. if it doesnt then only opt for surgery. getting braces not only fix cosmetic issues but also the functionality.

levaguely Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I think you'll just need ASO if you dont have any real jaw alignment issues. I don't think its possible to fix protrusion of teeth here without extracting it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
