My smile does not look normal. In photos I always have to smirk because when I smile the lower teeth are never visible and only part of my upper teeth show. My already thin upper lip becomes even thinner and the whole smile just ends up looking uncanny. I just want to be able to smile with my teeth like a normal person. What surgery is needed to fix this?
