I'm a 24 year old woman, I've been looking for the best procedure to correct my gummy smile, I think my teeth are big enough so maybe a laser procedure can reshape my gum line though. As you can see in my pictures I don't only have gummy smile, I also have a asymmetric bite. I've been searching for the lip lowering procedure but I don't know if it's the best solution for a case like me, I know there's also they the maxillary surgery, but I consider it's very extreme.
