My Left Lip Does Not Go Up when I Smile. You Cannont See my Teeth. What Do I Do?!

June 24, 2011
Asked By:Ashlyn from PA in Berwyn, PA

I am 15 years old and I have a very small mouth and I want full lips with a pretty smile. When I smile, you cannot see my teeth. My left lip does not go up when I smile. I know im young but i am not happy with my smile. I get made fun of and cry a lot. I really want a "new smile" and i dont know where to go from here. My lips are not symetrical and I want them to be. I want a gorgeous smile but I dont know what to do! :(
