Protruding teeth can be improved using the following methods:

1. If the problem is caused by misaligned teeth, orthodontic treatment can be used to correct it. Orthodontic options include traditional braces, invisible aligners, and clear retainers.

2. If protrusion is due to inadequate development of the alveolar bone, surgical intervention on the alveolar bone may be required to reshape its structure.

3. Maintain good oral hygiene habits and schedule regular dental checkups and cleanings to prevent tooth loosening caused by plaque and tartar buildup.

If symptoms worsen, seek medical attention promptly.
