Will a Lip Lift Help to Show Upper Teeth when I Smile?

Tamryn Monique Soekoe
When my mouth is closed it looks pretty normal, but when I smile, my top lip don't lift up to show my teeth. It hangs over my teeth like a curtain. I have really perfect teeth that don't show and I don't know what to do.If i force a smile it shows but does not look natural. Would a Lip lift help?
