I guess you are undergoing aligner treatment  currently. So, there are three treatment options. 1st- In your aligner or braces treatment, intrusion of upper teeth can be achieved using small miniscrews 2nd- Gum surgery(Gingivectomy along with bine contouring) if bone is not contoured, the gums that are cut will eventually regrow 3rd-  lip lengthening Ideally achieve it through orthodontics as this will be the least invasive one, but yes one has to diagnose which entity is at fault, lips jaw or gums
