Tapered Teeth: how can I improve my smile? (Photos)

September 18, 2017
Asked By:elexius in New York, NY

I had jaw surgery to correct a severe underbite several years ago, along with braces which closed (or at least reduced) many of the gaps between my teeth. Whilst I am really pleased with the results, I was wondering what could be done to improve the appearance as I am still completely confident with my smile. I notice in particular that many of them are tapered, preventing a ''full smile''. Would veneers be a simple solution?

Zygomaticus minor damage. My smile has turned totally crooked. Can surgery help me? (Photo)
Anthony Mobasser, DDS, DMD says:

Your best bet is to see a oral surgeon to assess the nerve damage due to the trauma, and see a neurologist that works with the oral surgeon, for particular facial exercises. I do suggest the more conservative you are the better off you will be, for the nerves to regenerate and repair itself.

Hi:From the photos it appears that the lip movement is not symmetrical due to muscle.  Most likely you will need Botox or fillers to help make the muscle movements more symmetrical.Best,Dr. Maddahi
