after a smile makeover will my mouth look smaller than it does now

Q. Hello , I have a question about a smile makeover. I have the dracula teeth(on my upper jaw) sticking out and they make it difficult for me to shut my mouth after smiling because the ends of my mouth don’t shut especially when my dracula teeth are dry. So I am thinking of having this procedure but one thing still bugs me. If my dracula teeth get fixed , and they get pushed back, will my mouth look smaller than it does now? If so, is there any way to have my teeth fixed without this side effect? Thank you. I am looking forward to your reply.

A. I would really need to see you to give you the best options.  I believe you are referring to your canine teeth which stick out.  You might find orthodontics to straighten your teeth is a better option or sometimes a combination whereby your teeth are straightened first then have some cosmetic work to finish your smile.  Before carrying out a smile makeover I often overlay some tooth coloured material over my patients teeth so we can get a quick preview of how the teeth will look at then end. You could ask your dentist to do the same so you can see how you would look.  I am sure there are a few different options available.  You can send me a photo if you would like a more detailed opinion.
