Has anyone else noticed the importance of upper teeth visibility?

[donkeyskin]

I'm talking about when you open your mouth and the amount (in terms of length not width) of upper teeth that show when you do. I feel like the maximum amount of teeth showing right before you get a gummy smile is ideal. Me personally my teeth barely show and therefore hate footage of me talking, it just looks weird (my philtrum isn't long nor is my midface so I don't really know what the problem is, perhaps the inclination of my teeth, they don't go exactly straight down. I used to have an open bite that was corrected with braces). I get jealous whenever I see someone simply open their mouth and you can see a their straight pearly whites clearly. I feel like this is such a specific topic I've never seen anyone talk about before

mostly about the incisors.

wider smile= wider, developed maxilla

there are ways to max it out

Kinda water, you want a 10-12 tooth smile with no buccal corridors and minimal gum show.

I have a wide palate/smile but the problem is you can't see it because my top lip sort of covers them

Not talking about width, I'm talking about length

Comes down to teeth size and lips, I'm also jealous of that

Mogger look

My lips aren't even big and I feel like my teeth are pretty normal sized not small or anything

I have this same issue makes me look tooth less, maybe a lip lift could fix this? im not sure

I have exactly the same, its such a big thing but soo unspoken about. I think it has something to do with the placement of the maxilla.

• Vertical maxilla position — your upper jaw sits slightly higher or under-projected, so less tooth show at rest and when talking
