What can I do about my asymmetrical smile and smile lines?
A patient Staff asked 8 years ago What can I do about the white spots on my teeth? One side of my mouth seems to be higher and has more smile lines than the other. I’ve also noticed that when I smile it’s not just one corner of my face that seems higher, it’s the whole side of my face. Another thing I wanted to know is what can I do about the white spots on my teeth? I’ve been told that it can be caused by many things but I want to know what i can do to fix it.
Dr. Elham Jafari Staff answered 8 years ago Correction of Assymetrical Smile and Smile Lines
Hi and thank you for sharing your question! Even though many people would not notice it, no face is completely symmetrical and there is always some levels of asymmetry in our face and body which can be evident at rest or when using muscles (e.g. smiling or eating in case of face). If the asymmetry reaches a level that might bother the patient, there are options to correct it by Botox and combination of various fillers injected around the mouth and in the lips. I hope it helps and good luck!
