Tooth protrusion can be determined by taking oral x-rays at a regular dental facility to determine if the cause of the tooth protrusion is dental or bony. If the protrusion is dental in nature, the situation can be improved through orthodontic treatment, either by wearing metal braces or invisible braces. If the tooth protrusion is bony, orthognathic surgery is required to correct the tooth protrusion from the bony side, and then orthodontic braces can be used to correct the teeth as well.
