Hello
It seems that you mostly have gummy smile that is when you’re smiling your gums are visible way too much than they should be normally. This thing can be corrected very easily by small surgical procedure that is known as gingivectomy, wherein the gums will be reduced in height a bit so that they are less visible. You can visit a gum specialist for the same and get it corrected. You can also upload some photographs for better clarity and guidance
