Is it my tiny gappy teeth or thin lips?

toastlover100 · 2021-12-27T23:36:18+00:00

There is something that makes me very self conscious about my toothy smile. I always avoid showing any teeth in photos, and all along I have been thinking it is their small size and gaps that are the problem. Now I am wondering if it is actually my thin upper lip? Does anyone have any solutions?

Your teeth look nice! Try a subtle lipstick ? Smiles are good!

You look so friendly! I think your mouth is fine tbh. Deffo no need to change your teeth.

myname80 · 27/12/2021 23:43

Not just saying it but OP you have a beautiful smile.....

Justkeeppedaling · 27/12/2021 23:44

It just looks like a normal smile. It's a lovely smile actually.

LadyExpecting93 · 27/12/2021 23:45

Lovely smile. Don't need to change your teeth, lips are lovely too... try some lip liner it can work wonders but I don't think you need to really!!

Oh gosh thank you all! I’m so self conscious about my smile, but you have all just given me a little boost! Positively beaming (teeth out!)

I think you have a nice smile, you don't need a solution for your face. You are more than a 1 dimensional photo. In real life we animate our faces with our personality and that is what everyone else sees, our face is the expression of who we are because our face becomes our 'self' a window to the inner self. The smile of your mum, sister, gran is always a delight to behold, because it is happiness, it is love, it is connection.
You don't need to be fixed - you're lovely.

You have a really nice smile.

If you want to tidy up your teeth, you could, but they are perfectly fine and average as is.

Bit of lippy! You have lovely teeth 😋

AgrippinaT · 28/12/2021 00:04

You're smile and face is absolutely bloody lovely pal!!

Mumblechum0 · 28/12/2021 00:14

I could have written this, I have a small mouth, thin top lip and small teeth. Always wish I had a big dazzling smile like Julia Roberts 😀

I always wear lip liner on the outside edge of my top lip which helps, and always have lipstick on.

But as pp say, you have a lovely smile and nothing to be self conscious about.

MissMaple82 · 28/12/2021 00:47

You're teeth and smile are both lovely. Your hair is gorgeous too. A very small amount of filler would do wonders mind, and do marvelous thongs to your confidence, and nobody need ever know!

MaryStuart · 28/12/2021 00:54

Your teeth, lips and smile are lovely op. Flash them all often. 😁👍🏻

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 28/12/2021 07:47

You have a lovely smile OP. Please believe everyone and flash it at every opportunity 😀

Joystir59 · 28/12/2021 07:56

You look pretty. Stop worrying!

whywouldntyou · 28/12/2021 07:59

I love photos of people with 'normal' teeth, absolutely hate the perfect white straight teeth! If ever I need dentures I will blow all my inheritance on a bespoke pair that are the same as my teeth as they are now.

Non-perfect teeth give a face character! Definitely nothing wrong with your teeth OP.

JulieGoods · 28/12/2021 08:14

I am really easily put off by bad teeth. So opened this thread a little hesitantly.

Needn't have.

Your smile is lovely and teeth are fine! I agree you have thin lips, as do I. Personally I find a bright lipstick looks silly on mine, like I'm trying to force it but draws more attention to my lips. But what I prefer to do is go for eye make up.

From the bottom half of your face I'm getting the impression you have friendly, pretty eyes to match the rest of your face.

But you absolutely have no reason to not smile in photographs or to hide your teeth. They aren't tiny or gappy. Xx

Nosnowthisyear · 28/12/2021 08:16

Your teeth are much better than a lot of people’s. They are clean and straight!

villainousbroodmare · 28/12/2021 08:17

Smile all day long; you are pretty and seeing your pic makes me smile too.

Slobberstops · 28/12/2021 08:17

Your smile makes me want to smile back. That’s a great smile - it’s sad you have been worried about your lovely normal teeth and infectious smile. Smile away :)

ChubbyBroccoli · 28/12/2021 08:20

That's a lovely natural smile!

It's not compulsory to smile with your teeth though - plenty of people don't. It just seems that way as we are bombarded with blinding white Hollywood gnashers 24/7.

Livebythecoast · 28/12/2021 08:41

You have lovely welcoming friendly smile OP - natural too. Better than those ridiculous pouts or the wink with your tongue to the side that you see a lot of celebrities do! Gives me the rage!

You look lovely 😁
