Teeth not showing when I smile. How can I fix this? (Photo)

May 4, 2020
Asked By:123456543210 in Montreal, QC

Hi, I'm about to finish my Invisalign treatment + I had a labial frenectomy & gingivoplasty last year.. but my teeth are still not showing enough when I smile. Here is what I don't like: 1- My lip is too low. 2- There is too much "mucosa" inside when I smile. 3- I want my lip to have a different shape. More straight. I plan to get veneers and maybe another gingivoplasty. I want a permanent solution. (Not fillers) Would a lip lift, lip reduction or a vestubuloplasty correct that? Thanks!
