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.
Answer: Smile Makeover Lip Repositioning Its a little tough to answer this without an actual clinical examination and pictures with the lips retracted to assess the length of your teeth. However, if there is a tooth length issue, porcelain veneers is a great way to increase the length. Alternately lip repositioning to increase the display of upper front teeth might also be a good option if tooth length is adequate.

Answer: Top teeth don't show when I smile Hi, Thank you for the question and details explaining the situation. Your question brings up a few good areas to address. Has your smile always pulled more on one side, or has that developed over time? Also, your TMJ issues need to be looked into and your bite should be checked to see if everything is balanced from the orthodontic work. It looks as if your teeth have been stripped in between, most likely during the Invisalign. This makes the teeth look more square and unnatural. That being said, it makes you and excellent candidate for porcelain veneers. With veneers, you can conservatively lengthen, whiten, and balance the symmetry of your teeth. Based on the pictured you attached, I would recommend a minimum of 6-8 veneers. Most important decision is to seek out an expert who has successfully treated cases similar to yours!

Answer: Front teeth don’t show Hi: It’s difficult to give you accurate advice without clinical exam. However, the factors to consider are: 1. Length of upper teeth 2. Position of upper teeth: too far back? 3. Upper lip movement. Best, Dr. Maddahi
