What is a Downward Smile?

A downward smile is where the Depressor Angular Oris which is a triangular shaped muscle that pulls downwards giving an individual a sad look to the mouth as the corners are downturned.  This can be a result of a number of factors such as strengthening the muscle through repeated facial expressions that require the mouth to pull down.
