Correcting protruding teeth requires selecting an appropriate method based on individual circumstances. Mild cases can be treated with dental braces, such as fixed or removable appliances, which apply external force to the teeth to achieve alignment. More severe cases may require orthognathic surgery combined with orthodontic treatment to improve tooth alignment and facial profile. Additionally, methods such as porcelain veneers or cosmetic crowns may be suitable for certain adult patients. During correction, it is essential to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid bad habits, such as frequently licking the teeth.
