Can lip flip address my "invisible teeth" problem? (Photos)

Question

My lower teeth do not show when I talk. When I smile, there is some teeth that is visible. Is it possible for a lip flip/injectable to correct this? I am trying to avoid a lip lift/surgical procedure if possible.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

This is an excellent question. A lip flip can be useful for patients who want to evert their upper lip. Sometimes the eversion alone does not achieve enough or any lift of the upper lip. If surgery is out of the question, then it may be worth consideration, however it may not give the result you desire. A lip lift would effectively shorten the distance from your nostril to the top part of your upper lip, showing a little bit of your upper teeth when you smile or talk. I hope this helps!
