I just got my braces off last week, but I still don't like my smile. My top 2 front teeth don't show enough. I have never seen anyone else with this problem. My ortho said it was because I have a low lip line, but my dad has that too and you can see his teeth a lot. I don't want to get any major surgery done, though. I am way too scared. I really want my smile to look normal where you can see all of my front 2 teeth or at least most of them. You can only see all of my teeth on the sides. I have seen other people with top lips like mine where they go down in the middle, but you can see all of their top teeth when they smile.
Before I had my braces, my 2 top front teeth were a little more visible. My ortho originally brought my teeth up so that you could hardly see my top center teeth AT ALL. So then I told him I didn't like it, and he brought them down a little. He said he couldn't bring them down anymore, though, now.
My smile also looks different now, like the shape/my lips…will it go back to how it was after awhile of having the braces off? And I feel like my teeth look too straight across when I smile now.![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
This is what my smile looked like the day I got my braces put on.

And this is after the braces: See how my lips go backwards more? And not as upwards?
