Uppers only. You barely ever see my lowers but then I think that's partly because growing up with my open bite I taught myself to smile in a way that nobody would notice!

Uppers only. But then I've always had moderately crowded lower teeth. So my uppers only smile might be a product of that.

Currently, just my top teeth show. I have some overjet and narrow palate issues, so it will be interesting to see if I show both sets when I'm finished with my treatment plan.

I only show the top for the most part. I think you can see some of the bottom when I laugh though.
