Gummy Smile
A Gummy Smile occurs when a large portion of the gums and teeth are visible when smiling. In some people, this may affect their self-esteem as they may hesitate to show their spontaneous smile in social interactions, which can also negatively impact how others perceive them.
Causes Of A Gummy Smile
A Gummy Smile can occur due to misaligned teeth but it is most commonly caused by an overactive upper lip muscle raising the lip excessively when smiling and exposing the upper gums.
Correcting A Gummy Smile
In such cases, releasing the specific muscle of the upper lip that causes the problem allows a more natural smile to occur
Treatment is generally straightforward, quick, effective, low-risk, and well-suited to most people.
The results become visible within days and last for about 3–6 months. After this period, the treatment can be easily repeated to maintain the desired result. The treatment is well tolerated.
