Anyone have experience with orthodontics? I have lip incompetence, had it all my life, but I finally want to fix it. 24 yr old male, money isn't a big issue. I had braces when i was younger to fix crooked teeth and that worked but I still have a gap between my lips in a resting position. When I close my lips and hold them together manually I have strained muscles in my chin. I also grind my teeth at night, not sure if this is a side effect of my lips; snoring also occurs.
Are braces the best way to fix this? Should I go for jaw surgery? My jaw seems fine so that may be too much but I really don't know what would be best. Sorry no pictures of me, but pic related to my situation. And sorry if this isn't the right board, I can move my thread if need be.

I know that'll stop my grinding but will it fix the lip incompetence as well?
I didnt even know there was a term for this or that it was a thing. I had an overbite when I was young and just heinously fucked up teeth. I had the upper jaw widened with a device (not surgery) and then braces for years. My teeth are straight but my lips do not stay closed when my mouth is relaxed. Maybe since I am a girl it is not as big a deal. I do not grind my teeth at night nor do I snore.
It sounds like you may have an opening for surgery. Let your Primary care physician know you think you grindid your teeth and have some problems with your mouth. Be sure to include the snoring, could be a sign of sleep apnea.
meh, you are good enough looking to get pussy. your problem is invalid.

I have a recessed chin that really bothers me.
I force an overbite on myself at all times when in public to make my chin look normal.
It's a poor remedy that honestly is getting hard to maintain, but I can neither afford surgery nor deal with what it looks like in its natural, resting state.

Can you grow a beard? Lol i think you could pull it off. For teeth grinding get a nightguard. Google it.
