I think you have a nice smile. The problem might be in the eyes, not the teeth– if your eyes don’t squint or crinkle a lot when you smile people might think you’re not really happy. My goal for an approachable smile is to replicate the 😄/😁 emojis (ie squint or even close ur eyes)

Someone else pointed it out, but I think my problem might be that a lot of my upper gums are exposed when I smile – short teeth, maybe, or hypermobile facial muscles. Nothing to be done of that short of invasive surgery to remove gum tissue and bone, which is completely out of the question. Apparently “excessive gingival display” is regarded as unpleasant because it looks too much like a snarl.

As a rabid Kpop fan (ooh cringe horror I know) I have to inform you that there are a great many people in the world who find gummy smiles adorable. Like I said, I think you have a nice smile.
