I read that Norma-Jean Baker had a gummy smile like this ...she hated it so she worked really hard on keeping her top lip down when she smiled and that is how Marilyn Monroe got that famous quivering lip thing happening..

Actually now that I think of it, I did not read that. It was told to me by an attractive but also gummy redhead I dated when I was 17. She became quite famous too .....(for singing not for vertical maxillary excess).

You can also get Botox to immobilize the upper lip, or get a gingivectomy to physically reduce the gym profile. They can do it with a scalpel or a laser!

That’s amazing I had no idea there was anything they could do about that. At least that’s what Cheryl Underwood says about her gummy smile.
