I have a really long philtrum, how much would it cost to fix it and is it really a big flaw if you have it which is the flaw i have in my face.

Philtrum lengthening surgery
 
Could be recession, vertical maxillary exess, too much clockwise rotation.

Do you have lip incompetence, forward head posture, gummy smile?

Neither, you need some form of expansion the jaws need to come forward to the protusion.

The best option is to ask you’re orthodontist why they haven’t told you all the routes and treatments, fuck them they are also doing this plan through guessing for you’re future since I know they didn’t evaluate the airway or joints with a cbct.

MARPE and Reverse head gear potentially, I don’t know what class malocclusion but don’t camouflage.
 
At your age reverse head gear and marpe could be an option for success but usually leads to sugary
