Will a lip lift/philtrum reduction help my upper teeth show better when my mouth is relaxed, talking, and smiling? (Photos)

Asked By:peachymomo in Tacoma, WA

I'm a 22 year old female and I want to be able to see my upper teeth better. It seems to be hereditary because my dad's mouth is similar to mine. My lips seems to flip inward when I smile, and it looks a bit uneven too. Is the problem my muscles around my lips not contracting properly? Or, do I have a jaw positioning problem? I don't think I have an overbite or underbite, and I have never had braces. My dentists never pointed out problems but I never asked them about cosmetic appearance.
