My teeth don't show when i smile. is that normal?

Everyone differs: A dentist should evaluate your problem and determine the cause and subsequent treatment. Possibly you have heavily worn down front teeth - extensive restoration back to their more ideal length may be needed. Possibly the placement of dermal fillers will improve your situation. This is why you need to see a dentist and explain your problem/concerns.

For you: Some people don't show their top teeth, others don't show their bottum teeth or any teeth at all. Some have very gummy smiles. Every one is different. The majority of people show some tooth when they smile.

Normal?: Upper front teeth do normally show when one smiles. However, everyone has different features and characteristics. If it's not an issue with you, don't make it one. If you are unhappy with your smile, consult with a dentist who prides himself\herself with careful analysis and cosmetic dentistry for a consult to discuss options available to you. See what can be done and if it is worthwhile 4 you.

Possibly: There are so many facial growth patterns. Many of which impact the surrounding soft tissue of the mouth and the size both vertically and horizontally of the jaws. The smile corridor allows visualization of smile width, vertical "excess" bone may allow a gummy smile or less bone allows almost no teeth to be seen. Some can be modified, others cannot unless dental rehab or surgery is involved.

Worth visiting ortho: It is certainly possible that for a number of anatomical reason; however, that does not mean that may not have some improvement. Make an appointment with an orthodontist to evaluate your situation so that you can explore options to improve your smile. Those options may include cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, or possibly surgical assistance.

Maybe: Everyone is built differently. Tom brokaw of nbc news never shows his teeth when he smiles. Have your dentist eval your particular situation.

Probably not: See a dentist for a consultation of your smile. There can be many reasons for this issue.
