My mouth is just odd looking. It seems small for my face and my lips are crooked and lopsided. My goal is to just have a nice, normal looking mouth so I am not always worried about how it looks. I look terrible when I don't smile yet its cheesy to walk around with a big grin on your face all of the time! What can give me normal shaped mouth that is the right size for my face? (a little fuller wouldn't bother me either but its not just about fullness) Also I think there is too much space bewteen my top lip and my nose.
