You have a small underdeveloped maxilla and when you hold your nose up you can see the dark buccal tunnels.Epigenetic Orthodontics can orthopedically expand your maxilla 3 dimensionally to establish better soft tissue support and create a full wide healthy smile.  This will support soft tissues with expanded bone and teeth. It is also possible to do 10 veneers which are adititive with minimal prep to give the appearance of a full wide maxilla and a wide health smile with good lip support.If doing veneers,  Extremely important to have a wax up and a NO PREP Trial build up that you can keep for several days to make sure you are happy and to make adjustments prior to beginning final.  There will be costs involved but keeps you in control and lets you avoid being another "Horror" story.  Most dentists are minimally aware of what it takes to provide ideal support of facial tissues.
