Hi ! We need to see either pictures or you can see a dentist for an examination of the extent of incompetency . Depending on the examination, you can go for orthodontic treatment ( if your teeth are not properly alligned) , or orthognathic treatment ( if it the jaw that is too protruded ) . Lastly you can also ho for Botox , this is easier way with no downtime but it needs to be repeated after 3-5 months.
