I Had Braces For An Overbite But My Arch Wasn’t Widened To My Liking. Can This Be Done?

Monday, October 20th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes. I had overbite and two teeth removed for braces. My arch wasn’t widened at all really and I have a narrow smile and huge dark spaces at either side. My bite is good now but I’m not happy with the aesthetics.
My orthodontist assured me he that did his best but I feel like I had two teeth removed for nothing as now I’m realising they would of helped achieve a wider smile.
My gums at the very side/back are more visible but my orthodontist told me that contouring isn’t for teeth like mine.
Is there a way of widening my arch?
Thanks.

Is There A Way To ‘Widen’ My Smile?

Friday, July 26th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr.Hughes,
My question might be silly because it involves the natural way my jaw is shaped. However, I was wondering if there is any way to widen a smile? I have a very small mouth and lips. So when I smile only a total of 4 teeth clearly show. This tends to make my smile look “fake” and I’ve had a lot of people tell me the same. I dont know if it is maybe because my teeth’s alignment curves back more sharply than the average person, or if it has to do with some other factor.
Is there any hope in maybe widening my smile, so i can have a nice full one?

Would Lumineers be a good option if I wanted to widen my smile?

Friday, September 10th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I would like to widen my smile and show my teeth more. My teeth are straight and in good health so I am not so keen on having veneers as it seems quite invasive. I am interested in having Lumineers, do you perform this procedure and would it help achieve the results I am looking for? Also, can teeth be made longer using Lumineers? How much does it cost per tooth to have Lumineers? Thanks,
A.

My smile stresses me out and I have heard of a treatment that will give me a wider, fuller smile. Is this possible?

Q.
Hi Dr Rob, I hope you are well,i am really looking for some advice.I don’t have a wide smile however although my teeth are in a decent condition, or so my dentist said so.I would really like a better smile. I have heard of a American treatment where the gap between your inner cheek and side teeth (if that makes sense). ie bulking the inside out…to give the illusion a wider fuller smile. My smile stresses me out and id really like to get some advise if possible as i do not know where to start. Many Thanks for you time. Regards,

Q.
Hi, I am currently almost finished having orthodontic treatment, my teeth are straight but I would like a wider smile.. showing more teeth.. the roof of my mouth is narrow..is it possible to still achieve this? My braces are supposed to be coming off in a month. Also.. as your a jaw expert, my jaw is really really clicky and doesnt seem to track up and down properly, also I have a habit of clicking it in and out on one side, if I dont it feels really tight, is this bad? Im worried about getting arthritis. I have had this since I was a child.. Im now 26. Thanks ever so much for your time.,
