Asked By:nadia92629 in Los Angeles, CA

Hello,I am in my early 30's now and I am so conscious of my smile especially I have seen couple orthodontist and I am getting mixed feedbacks. Some have suggested Orthognathic surgery to fix the overbite and my incompetent lips, other said TAD should help improve my gummy smile and the tension from my bottom lips/ chin.Would TAD help improving the gummy smile and have my upper lips more noticeable ? maybe have a bit of lip injection to get my lips to rest better once done with the treatment?
