I had edge to edge teeth when i was younger had braces when i was in my 20's now my teeth are straight and no longer edge to edge, but the problem is when i talk or smile you can't see my upper teeth, I have to force my smile so people can see my upper teeth. I am 38yo what can I do? I don't know if my upper lips too long or my teeth small, my sister is a dentist and a nephew who is a maxillo facial surgeon, I just don't want to tell them this problem, but I feel bad about my smile.

Answer: Have to Forced Smile to show upper front teeth. Thank you for your question. Pictures would be helpful. Sounds like the teeth got worn out due to the edge to egde bite. If so, it is definetly possible to give you your smile back. It might require some crowns and veneers in order to achieve this. My advise is to schedule a consultation with a dentist, experienced in normalizing vertical dimension of the mouth.

Answer: I cannot see my upper teeth when I smile The starting point is to discuss this with your sister who is a dentist and your nephew who is a max fax surgeon, they could offer invaluable advice or referral onwards.One dentist has commented that your ortho treatment went wrong; I would disagree with making such comments without full records. If you had unusually short teeth then your orthodontist would have told you so.My guess is that your upper jaw may be short vertically and so the teeth will not show when you smile.Depending on how far the teeth have to be to show then you could either have upper veneers to make the teeth longerupper surgical correction to bring the upper jaw down a littleboth decisions would require full consultations and time to consider actions

Answer: When I Smile or Talk, You Can't See my Upper Teeth, Have to Forced Smile It? This could be one of several issues. You may have a deficient lower facial height. Your upper lip may be long or your muscles around your mouth may not open your lips wide enough to see. Your teeth could be short and your upper and lower jaws too close together (deficient vertical dimension of jaws). Before recommending any treatment it would be necessary to determine exactly which issue is your problem. Then and appropriate treatment(s) could be recommended.It may be just an issue of making your teeth longer with veneers or crowns.Or, jaw surgery and orthodontics.Maybe plastic surgery around your mouth?One thing to remember is everyone is different. Certainly Julia Roberts and Regis Philbun have altogether different kinds of mouths and smiles and teeth and most would certainly say they are normal. I know you just want to be the best that you can be. First, talk with a couple cosmetic dentists to determine if it is a dental problem or other type of problem. If not a dental problem, they certainly can guide you to the best physician or dentist to treat your particular problem.Good luck!
