What Causes Difficulty In Closing Lips Over Teeth After Removal Of Braces?

My upper lip has been, for two weeks now, requiring a thoughtful effort to close it over my teeth. It is strange to describe, but I wore full-metal braces as an adult, and I had to "work" to close my lips over the braces. Now, my husband describes the lip thing as a similar motion to the era of the braces. This feeling is only on the right side. It is an unusual, but concerning thing. I am a teacher, so I speak before students constantly. I find I need to be more deliberate in my pronunciation. Thank you.

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the habit of closing your lips or path of closure of lips will change as you get used to the normal way of closure. keep practicing daily 2 times sitting in front of the mirror. nothing to worry it will get solved by its own. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
