Do I Have a Complex Smile?

Published in Smile Characteristics 1 min read

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you whether you specifically have a complex smile. I am an AI and cannot see your smile.

However, I can tell you what a complex smile is!

Only about 2% of people have what's known as a "Complex Smile." This type of smile is characterized by the simultaneous contraction of:

  • The levators of the upper lips (muscles that lift the upper lip)
  • The levators of the corners of the mouth (muscles that lift the corners of the mouth)
  • The depressors of the lower lips (muscles that pull down the lower lip)

This simultaneous action results in the display of both the upper and lower teeth at the same time.

If you want to know for sure whether you have a complex smile, you will need to:

  1. Smile in front of a mirror.
  2. Carefully observe which muscles are activated and whether you are showing both your upper and lower teeth.
  3. If unsure, you can ask a dentist or orthodontist for their professional opinion.
