Gummy smile

What is a Gummy Smile?

A "gummy smile" refers to a smile in which an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible when a person smiles. This phenomenon can affect the aesthetic appearance of the smile and cause some people to feel self-conscious.

Causes of the gummy smile

The gummy smile can be caused by various factors. This includes:

Overactive lip muscles: Excessive tension in the muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip can cause too much gum tissue to show.

gum growth: In some cases, the area of ​​gum overlying the teeth may be too large.

Bone facial anatomy: The shape and position of the upper jaw and teeth can also affect the appearance of the gummy smile.

genetics: For some people, the gummy smile is genetic and a natural trait.
