A "Gummy Smile" refers to a smile where an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible when a person smiles. This can affect the aesthetic appearance of the smile and cause some individuals to feel self-conscious about their smile.
Causes of a Gummy Smile
A Gummy Smile can be caused by several factors, including:
Overactive Lip Muscles: Excessive muscle tension in the upper lip can cause the gums to be more visible when smiling.
Excess Gum Tissue: In some cases, the gum tissue covering the teeth may be too large.
Facial Bone Structure: The shape and position of the upper jaw and teeth can influence the appearance of a Gummy Smile.
Genetics: Some people naturally inherit a Gummy Smile due to their genetic makeup.
Treatment Options for Gummy Smile
The good news is that a Gummy Smile can be effectively treated with various aesthetic procedures. At AS Aesthetics, we offer tailored solutions that are customized to meet your specific needs:
Botox Treatment: One of the most effective and commonly used methods for treating a Gummy Smile is Botox injections. This treatment reduces the activity of the muscles that lift the upper lip and expose the gums.
Surgical Interventions: If the gum tissue is excessively large, a gum reduction procedure may be needed. This is typically achieved through a minimally invasive gum surgery.
Combination Treatments: For optimal results, we often combine Botox with other aesthetic procedures to achieve a harmonious and natural smile.
