What Is A Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile is when an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible above the upper teeth when smiling.
Excess Gum Visibility
The upper lip lifts higher than usual, exposing more of the gum line than desired.
Muscle-Related Movement
Often caused by the overactivity of the muscles that elevate the upper lip.
Can Affect Confidence
Many patients feel self-conscious about smiling or avoid photos due to the appearance of their smile.
How Can A Gummy Smile Be Treated?
A gummy smile can be treated using anti-wrinkle injections that reduce the movement of the upper lip, creating a more balanced smile.
Relaxes Lip Muscles
Treatment reduces the strength of the muscles that pull the top lip upward when smiling.
Improves Smile Balance
Helps achieve a more proportionate ratio between teeth, lips and gums.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is Gummy Smile Treatment The Same As A Lip Flip?
No, they are different treatments.
A lip flip focuses on subtly turning the lip outward to enhance fullness, whereas gummy smile treatment specifically reduces how much gum is visible when smiling.
Can Anti Wrinkle Treatment Fix A Gummy Smile?
Yes, anti-wrinkle treatment is an effective and popular treatment option for gummy smiles. This treatment works by relaxing the muscles around your mouth. Your upper lip then does not curl as much when you smile. This helps to create a more balanced smile with your top and bottom teeth.
Is Gummy Smile Treatment Painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. Very fine needles are used, and numbing cream can be applied if needed to make the treatment more comfortable.
Will My Smile Still Look Natural After Treatment?
Yes, treatment is carefully tailored to ensure your smile remains natural while reducing excess gum visibility.
