I hate my smile. What to do? (Photo)

Question

Ok so my smile has been like this forever. I’m 26 now and I’m still uncomfortable with my smile. So much so I don’t like to smile much at all. I don’t know if it’s my skeletal structure, my lips or what. I’m confused on who I should see about fixing this issue. Considering modeling and acting is something I want to pursue I won’t get anywhere with this smile. Can I get a little insight please? Thanks for reading

Hi:Fromt he picture it appears not enough of the upper teeth shows while smiling.  You can get porcelain veneers to increase lip support and lengthen the teeth and imporve the color at the same time.Best,Dr. Maddahi

I would first consider seeing an orthodontist to see if things can be straightened. If that doesn't work for you, your other option would be porcelain veneers. Find a good cosmetic dentist for that. You can look for a list of members of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry or someone who has attended the Las Vegas Institute for Advance Dental Studies.

Based on the photos, you appear to be a good candidate for porcelain veneers to improve the shape and color of your teeth. Veneers can also add length to your teeth and improve symmetry of your smile. . Seek an experienced cosmetic dentist who has great photos and reviews.
