I have a low smile lip-line, I know its genetic my father has the same thing. My top teeth don't show when I smile, only about 1mm of my top teeth show when I'm laughing. I'm wondering if a lip lift will correct this? I want to have a big toothy smile :D I don't have an underbite or an over bite. I do have a small mouth and thin lips which probably doesn't help too much with showing teeth when I smile. I'd just love to have teeth show when I talk and smile. Hoping to get some good news here.

The soft tissue at the junction of your nose and lip can be resected allowing more posterior positioning and changing the angle. The nasal spine can be reduced. You should consider a chin implant to balance your face.
