How can I fix my smile that looks like a sneer?

A combination of Orthodontics and veneers will help. Also subtle lip filler can change the way your lip looks when you smile. You can achieve what you are looking for but it will take time and money. Consult an orthodontist as well as a cosmetic dentist.

Issue is not with gums. gummy smile does not looks good. issue is with buccal corridors [dark areas on both side of teeth]. best option in yr case is expansion of arch. demon braces or aligners are good option for u.
