If you are considering Invisalign, you may be wondering how it will affect your overall facial structure. Here at Sims Orthodontics, many patients ask us whether Invisalign will make their lips bigger. Our Pensacola, Crestview and Gulf Breeze patients are always curious about how Invisalign will affect their smile, lips and teeth.

It’s important to understand that since Invisalign is not a cosmetic lip treatment, it will not increase the size of your lips. However, while you are undergoing Invisalign treatment, you may find that your lips appear bigger. This is because your lips will be lying on top of an appliance and look fuller as a result.

While Invisalign cannot make your lips bigger, it can help you achieve the straight teeth and attractive smile you’ve always dreamed of. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are incredibly comfortable and can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. You can also remove them to play a sport or a musical instrument. As long as you wear your aligners for at least 22 hours each day, you can enjoy great results.

If you would like fuller lips, you can always consider a cosmetic lip treatment after you complete your Invisalign treatment. There are lip injections and lip surgeries, which may provide your lips with more volume and look great with your newly straightened teeth. For more information on lip enhancing treatments, consult a plastic surgeon.
