I've always been unsatisfied with my teeth. I have a gummy smile and it ruined my self esteem. I think the cause is my hyperactive upper lip. Also my teeth were crooked so I got braces thinking it'd solve both problems. I'm getting them off in two weeks and I'm still not satisfied with the way my teeth look because they're too short and some of them are uneven( my lateral incisors are different sizes). Can gum reshaping fix this problem? Is there anything I can do to fix my uneven teeth?

I would definitely consider orthodontics to get the teeth in proper position and alignment while also addressing your deep bite. Your dentist should also perform a facial analysis to determine your lip length and lip mobility. If you have a hypermobile lip you can have excessive gum...
Hi:Unfortunaltely with braces alone the smile can not be fixed. You might want to consider jaw surgery one or cosmetic dentistry in order to lengthen the outside of your teeth on the right side with porcelain veneers.Best,Dr. Maddahi
Hi:You have a nice smile, and form the pictures it appears that you can not widen or lengthen it. You might just want to consider whitening as a possible cosmetic procudure that is available to you.Best,Dr. Maddahi
