Don't see as much of your Upper front Teeth?

Have you noticed lately that when you smile that you don’t see as much of your upper front teeth as when you were younger or that the edges of your teeth are worn or chipped? Have you wondered why this happens when your teeth looked great in the past? One reason for showing less upper teeth when smiling is aging. The other is the deterioration of the teeth due to wear.

Between the ages of 30 yrs and 70 yrs the muscles of the upper and lower lips become more lax. So what we see is that a 30 year old will show a lot of upper incisor teeth measured in a relaxed position or when speaking; and no lower teeth. A 70 years old will show minimal or no upper teeth and a lot or lower incisor teeth. The change amounts on average to approximately 1 mm per decade between 30 and 70 years. What is lost in appearance by the upper teeth is gained by the lower teeth. A 30 year old female will show roughly 4mm of upper teeth in a relaxed position and the same female will show 4mm of lower incisor teeth at 70 years.
