Question

My upper lip covers most of my upper teeth and i also have lip tie. Is lip tie the reason for this smile?

Hi there! There are options to improve your lip’s position. One would be Botox or Dysport. These can be placed to cause a “lip flip” which works in many cases. A lip lift can be done which shortens the upper lip and creates more teeth show. This may be a good choice though it does create a scar. Lip tie may be causing some of the issues you’re having. This is a relatively easy procedure to perform and may allow for better lip movement and teeth show. Best of luck.
