Gummy smile

Are you unhappy with the amount of gum that shows when you smile?

‘Gummy Smile’ is a phenomenon that when some people smile their upper lip elevates too far above their upper teeth, exposing the gums excessively and producing an unattractive smile. This may happen due to many causes, one of which could be a hyperactive muscle that elevates the upper lip.

We can correct the issue of a gummy smile by decreasing the activity of the upper lip muscles. This stops the upper lip moving so high that the gums are revealed, and results in much less of a gummy smile for increased smile aesthetics and confidence.
