You have a gummy smile if large portion of your gums is evident when you smile or laugh. This often leads to lower self esteem amongst individuals with such smiles. It not only makes them self conscious but also hinders their self confidence to a great extent.
Gummy smile is caused by a number of reasons like abnormal teeth eruption , improper development of upper jaw, short upper lip,enlarged gingiva or hyperactivity of muscles of upper lip.
Fortunately ,there are a number of treatment options available which are a boon to the people with gummy smiles. The treatment option however depends on the underlying cause.Some of the treatment options available are as follows
1) Gingivectomy : This procedure involves removal of excessive portions of the gums and recontouring the gingival margins
2)Botox Injections: Sometimes the excessive elevation of the upper lip leads to the exposure of larger portion of gums while smiling or laughing. Such problems are resolved by giving botox injections in the upper lip to reduce the elevation of elevator muscles of upper lip and wing of the nose.This procedure is however temporary and lasts upto 3 to 6 months
