Hello. I'm a 27 year old woman and as far back as I can remember I have wedged the tip of my tongue between my front teeth to prevent a "collapsed" look in photos. When my mouth is slightly open internally it produces an attractive jaw line/larger lip look. When I shut my mouth all the way i have a short chin, thin lips, and slight pressure in my jaw. I also grind my teeth at night. Is there anything I can do to look like myself on the left without having to posture my face?
