Hi OP
I have a very low smile line. You can't see my teeth when I talk and you can literally just see a tiny bit of my top teeth when I smile. I'm very self conscious of it because I look like I have no teeth, and I always smile with my lips closed.
Is there a way of improving my smile line? Would this involve braces, veneers, cosmetic surgery?
Where would be a good place to start looking for the right dentist/dental surgeon to help me fix this.
Thank you
Hello! Oh please don't be self conscious it's more common than you think.
So firstly, I'd suggest booking in for a discussion with your dentist. You can ask for them and they allow more time for the appointment so we can go through everything thoroughly with you.
When we have had patients liked this they've opted for crown lengthening oral surgery. This involved cutting the excess gum and sometimes bone to allow your teeth to be shown more.
There are pros and cons because it is a surgery and every surgery carries risks but we never had someone come back and complain.
The benefit to the procedure is that once it is done. It will never have to be done again or touched up.
Your dentist will head you into the right direction for specialist treatment and they could advise you on price etc.
Hope this what somewhat helpful and please do come back and update once you've spoken to your dentist.
