OK. This is a bit rambling. Sorry.

So, when I smile my upper lip rides high as it were showing a lot of gum. It's not that bad, but it's one of those things that I notice about myself. People with this problem in worse ways are said to have horse teeth.

Anyways, if I put something up in the space between my lip and my gums like I was dipping (although I don't dip. I usually I use a piece of gum) this works to greatly improve my smile. My upper lip no long rides up.

I love to smile. I'm always laughing and smiling.

If I use gum, the gum breaks down and either falls apart, gets sticky or dries up and gets hard. Is there any procedure or is there a device that can do this for me? I'm thinking that I would like to make a soft plastic mold that could fit up there snugly.
