Why don't I ever smile with teeth?

"Hey Miko, Why do you never smile with your mouth open?" ?

Today I'd like to address something that I didn't really talk about much. We all have our own body complexes, and my teeth are my biggest one.

I have a sweet tooth and I love eating sweets. I love baking, I love pastries, cake, even sweet in salty food!

Sadly, on top of having naturally fragile teeth, I also wasn't very consistent in the care routine for it.

It is partially my fault, partially not, if today, my teeth don't look good. It stays my biggest complex nonetheless.

In addition to this, my lower jaw is very far in the back compared to the top one. About 6 millimetres! I will need surgery for this

I've been to the dentist countless times. I had braces so I wouldn't say my teeth aren't aligned but they don't look pretty. And the jaw misalignment is making my smile being pretty much 50% gums, 50% teeth.

In the end, I feel like I forgot how to smile openly. I feel like I look weird doing it, like if it was unnatural. This is why I don't smile with teeth in any pics.

In the end, I know I'm harsher towards myself than anyone else will ever be.

What's your complex? Share it with me if you want, I'd love to know.
