Do lips become thinner after braces?
Yes, braces can change the position of your lips, but only as much as the teeth immediately behind them change. It has nothing to do with braces changing your lips as far as fullness or shape.

Which tooth is the premolar?

An overbite will thrust your lips forward. The more pronounced your overbite is, the more your lips will puff out.

You can expect your lips to appear less pronounced after the orthodontic treatment.
