Gummy smile? The solution depends on why it's happening. Sometimes it's the lip, sometimes the gums, and sometimes the teeth or jaw position. That's why a proper diagnosis matters more than a quick fix. β¨
3 ways to correct a gummy smile:
1οΈβ£ Botox π
If your upper lip lifts too high when you smile, Botox can relax those muscles and show less gum.
β
Quick
β
Non-surgical
β οΈ Temporary (usually lasts a few months)
2οΈβ£ Gum Contouring β¨
If excess gum tissue is covering your teeth, reshaping the gums can reveal more tooth structure.
β
Instant smile enhancement
β
Long-lasting results
3οΈβ£ Orthodontic Treatment π
If the teeth or jaw position is causing the gummy smile, braces or Invisalign can help move teeth into a better position.
β
Treats the root cause
β
Improves bite and smile together
Not ever gummy smile needs the same treatment. The best correction starts with the right diagnosis by an orthodontist.
