What Is a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile occurs when the upper lip lifts too high when smiling, exposing more of the gum tissue than is typically desired. This is often caused by overactive muscles in the upper lip, a short upper lip, or underlying skeletal or dental concerns.
If you are unhappy with your smile, there are things you can do about it.
Our Expert Skin Doctors Recommend:
Botox Injections
Botox is becoming increasingly popular for the treatment of Gummy Smile. The idea is to slightly weaken the muscles that pull the lip up when one smiles to reduce the lifting of the upper lip. The result is very satisfying.
Braces
Orthodontics can re-position your teeth to give you a more attractive smile without the need for surgery.
Veneers
Veneers can also be fitted to cover up worn teeth and give you the smile you always wanted.
Jaw Surgery
If your gummy smile is genetic and the result of a malformed jaw, this can be corrected with jaw surgery..
