So I realized recently that my lips don’t naturally stay closed when my face is resting. They kinda hang open a bit unless I consciously shut them, and when I try to keep them closed it makes my chin look tight and weird. Pretty sure this is lip incompetence and it’s starting to mess with how my face looks in photos.

What actually causes it? (Is it just weak lips, bad breathing habits, or something structural)

Has anyone here actually improved it with exercises or posture stuff/ myofunctional therapy(don't have access to physical one in my area may do online) or is that just cope?

When do you know it’s something that needs orthodontics or a doctor’s help?

And what about fillers/Botox
