Asked By:emilopez in Chicago, IL

I went with a different dentist ,and he stated that I show 5mm of gum when I smile. He advised that I get braces on my top teeth along with a gingivectomy (can only remove 1-1.5 mm of gum with gingivectomy due to my bone) how much will that actually improve my smile?
