Since you are having orthodontics procedure done, your dentist can help you with this issue NOW, if for some reason he can not bring your upper teeth shown , then you can have surgical intervention, which I do not recommend, since it is Invasive. Your other option is to have cosmetic dentistry done, in which I recently wrote an article for dental bonding vs veneers vs crowns, in which can help you for other options available to you, in which you can read.From the looks of your treatment, in the picture, your orthodontics treatment is not completed, and you must discuss this with your dentist first.
Hello Rashmi,Sorry to hear that you're having issues with your smile. I would suggest consulting a plastic surgeon that specializes in facial surgery.
