How to fix an uneven gummy smile? (photo)

Pioneering989337Jan 22, 2023

I have completed Invisalign treatment and while it helped some, it didn’t give me the full outcome I wanted. I am wondering what can be done to help even out my smile. Possibly Botox on that one side?

Based on your photo, you appear to have thin nasal skin with nostril asymmetry, and a bifid nasal tip that is also asymmetrical. I suspect the effect of the BTX is not responsible for your nasal appearance since we have not seen any permanent negative sequelae in people after BTX treatments. If...
