Teeth showing when smiling

I'm curious after having watched someone with a lovely smile. When I smile naturally - and "broadly" I guess - only my top row of teeth show, but some people one seem to show their bottom teeth, and others both. So, a poll below to find what percentage of people are like me, or not!

I am having this exact issue with dd1 as since she has had her braces removed, she now smiles with both top and bottom teeth showing when before it was only the top! I personally think the nicer look is top only like I do, but she doesn't seem to mind 😐

I don't think I've ever seen anyone smile and only their bottom teeth show.

WTF? The only 'issue' here is in your head, thinking that your smile is more attractive than your own child's.

No. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying she used to smile with just her top teeth (like me) before the braces and now she doesn't. Calm down people ffs 🙄
