First of all, thanks for taking the time with these.

I posted this question in the ask an ortho thread, but I'm not sure if that's the right place. OK. Here goes:

When I smile, my upper lip rides up revealing a lot of my gum line. It's not that bad, and I'm not a seriously vain person, but I am aware of it. I still smile all the time, but I would love to do something about it. In worse cases, it's been called horse mouth. It's not that bad, but like I said, I am aware of it.

Anyways, I have noticed that if I have something in between my upper lip and my gums (as if I were dipping), my lip doesn't ride up when I smile. I don't dip though. Sometimes I will use a piece of gum.

My question is, do you know of any devices that are made specificaly to deal with this problem. Ideally I would like a soft plastic or was mold that I could slip in and out but that wouldn't move around too much.

Any ideas? Thanks again.
