Everted Lip
Q: Everted Lip: Will treatment in any way change this? If the client has good lip closure despite an everted lip, is it even something to treat?
A: Most likely if the client has good and consistent lip closure and is WNR on the Myo Lip Meter, he would not have the everted lip. If he does in spite of normal RUs between 3-5, and if he is a nose breather, I might give him the Lip Massages and / or Grandpops since they incorporate folding the lower lip inward and are most likely to reduce or eliminate the everted lower lip. Bear in mind that if the client also has a Class III or end-to-end occlusion, the jaw will be further forward and that could be a factor in the everted lip, in which case you probably won’t be able to help in that area.
