I have gummy smile which makes me unhappy. The ortho told me that maybe with braces it will be less visible like 1 mm or 2mm. Of course that is no the main reason I am having braces, but if that help my self esteem I’ll be happier. A lot of people that have gummy smile are not even bother for that fact. I wish I could be like them.
I was wondering if anyone here had gummy smile and braces helped to make less visible
