Hatchet Face

#1 Post by sloth1204 »

I’m supppsed to finish my treatment around June, but feel like my whole face looks scary when I smile. Can this be fixed with braces or is here something wrong with my face muscles?

I think your smile looks very pretty! Perhaps you worry too much?

This doesn’t seem helpful.

As for the question, your picture looks gorgeous and your smile is beautiful. But I think I know what you mean - I keep smiling at myself and I’ve felt the same way. My mouth just seems too full of teeth and kind of creepy. I’m betting it’s just some form of body dismorphia as we adjust to the new look. Please know an internet stranger thinks you look great!
