I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it is unlikely that much can be done about it because it usually has to do with your facial structure!. Sometimes, crown lengthening can be done and veneers put on the teeth in order to "lengthen" the teeth and "shorten" the gums!.

You might want to ask your orthodontist about what you can do!. My friend had the same thing and they gave her, unfortunately, head gear but she only had to wear it at night!. It really helped a lot!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
