Why don’t my top teeth show when I smile? How can I fix this? (Photos)

CaliforniaBorn1987
I had braces in middle school and Invisalign as an adult. My top teeth still don’t show unless I smile wide but it looks bad. Braces corrected an underbite and Invisalign just aligned the teeth since they often shift. When I had braces, 4 teeth were pulled out (2 top and 2 bottom). When I smile, my smile also pulls towards the left making it look crooked. I also experience TMJ symptoms often from clenching.
