I am unsure but I think that I may have long face syndrome. I had rather bad crowding of the teeth when I younger but I turned down braces because I was scared that I would get bullied at school. To my untrained eye I seem to have some of the symptoms that I have read about but not other symptoms such as gummy smile or lip incompetence. Does it appear from these photos that I have long face syndrome and is there anything I can do about it at this stage (I'm 27) to fix it?

It looks like you chipped a tooth. You could even your teeth by placing a composite (tooth colored) filling there or you could get porcelain veneers on your front teeth. Alternatively, you could try bonding first, and if you aren’t satisfied, you could always get veneers.
It sounds like a fairly simple correction by an orthodontist or general dentist with a few skills. Consider Invisalign, Six Month Smiles, or Removable Appliance. Good luck.
Dear Crowded,
Your best route is to see an orthodontist to determine a treatment plan. Pulling teeth alone will not straighten you teeth and with all the options there are in modern orthodontics you may not need to pull perfectly healthy teeth
I hope...
