Should I ask my ortho to increase upper teeth show?

Hello,

I was hoping someone could tell me if I'm being nitpicky, or if it's fair to request this to my ortho.

My top teeth barely show when talking. I think my philtrum is a tiny bit larger than normal so that might contribute. I might consider a lip lift in the future. But for now, do you think I could ask my ortho to maybe bring my top teeth down a bit? Or would it be a dumb request? I'm currently at 2 years and 3 months of treatment and nearing the end.

Another thing, my teeth midline is a bit off center from my nose. The more I look at it it starts bothering me. Should I also bring this up?

Thank you
