How do I fix an uneven smile even though I had braces? (Photo)

Question

Hi, as you can see from the picture I have an uneven smile. I wore braces for 2 years and apparently my teeth are aligned and well, but my smile is uneven. I'm kind of self conscious of this, as one side shows more gum than the other when I smile. What is this due to and what is the way to fix it?

Two possibilites here. First, if the size of the teeth are equal on both sides, then it is an issue of the lip, not the gums. If that is the case, a little botox will level out the smile line. If the teeth are different sizes, then a gum lift and veneers are possible.

You may be a candidate for a gum lift on the side that shows more gums when you smile.  An experienced cosmetic dentist can make measurements of your gums to decide if you are a candidate and also what kind of gum lift is the best.  You might want to ask for  2 or 3 different opinions to get the best options for your case.
