Why does my smile change when smiling with teeth?

July 14, 2020
Asked By:stacyk01

Attached below are photos of my mouth relaxed, smiling, and smiling with teeth. When I'm just smiling (no teeth) my smile is alright and more upturned. However, when smiling with teeth my smile becomes distorted. Is there any way to fix this? I hate smiling with my teeth and wish I could feel more confident.
