Gummy Smile Correction

"Too much gum showing when you smile? If you're self-conscious about your gummy smile, you're not alone. We offer effective solutions to help you achieve the confident, balanced smile you've always wanted.

Our comprehensive gummy smile correction services are designed to enhance the appearance of your smile by reducing excessive gum display and creating a more harmonious gum-to-tooth ratio.

A gummy smile is a condition where an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible when a person smiles. This can occur due to several factors, including:

• Excessive Gum Tissue: Overgrowth or an abnormal amount of gum tissue can cover more of the teeth.
• Short or Overactive Upper Lip: The upper lip may be too short or may move too much when smiling, revealing more of the gums.
• Teeth Position: If the teeth are positioned too high or not fully erupted, more gum may be visible.
• Jaw Growth: Certain jaw or facial structure issues can contribute to a gummy smile.

Treatment options

Several effective treatment options are available for correcting a gummy smile, each tailored to address different underlying causes:

• 1. Gum Contouring (Gum Reshaping): This procedure involves removing excess gum tissue to reveal more of the teeth. It can be done using lasers or traditional surgical techniques to create a more balanced gum-to-tooth ratio.
• 2. Orthodontic Treatment: Guiding the growth of teeth and jaws for optimal dental health.
• 3. Lip Repositioning Surgery: Helping your child develop a beautiful, confident smile from a young age.
• 4. Crown Lengthening: Exercises and techniques to strengthen jaw muscles and reduce pain.
• 5. Botox Injections: Targeted medications to manage pain and inflammation.
• 6. Orthognathic Surgery: Addressing bite issues and misalignments that contribute to TMJ disorders.
