I’m 25 yo and I have always had this problem that my teeth NEVER show when I smile nor when I speak. They’re just tucked away. I have a nice set of teeth and I get really upset because I don’t have any confidence anymore since I’ve been little to smile as I have an ugly one. What procedure would I need to show my teeth more? Would it be a lip lift? Or a lip flip? Botox? Or would I have to get a dental cosmetic treatment? Please help.
