What can you do about a gummy smile?
Join Alice Hart-Davis as she explores effective treatments for a gummy smile, where a significant portion of the top gums is visible when smiling.
🔹 Causes of a Gummy Smile:
Genetics: Teeth set lower, wider gums.
Muscular: Top lip retracts upwards more than usual.
🔹 Skincare Solutions:
Ineffectiveness: Skincare products cannot address structural and muscular issues of a gummy smile.
🔹 Dental Solutions:
Laser Recontouring: Reshapes gums to expose more teeth.
🔹 Non-Surgical Solutions:
Botox Injections:
Mechanism: Softens muscle action to reduce gum exposure.
Effectiveness: Takes 7-10 days to show results, lasting 3-4 months.
🔹 Conclusion:
Treat a gummy smile with dental procedures like laser recontouring or non-surgical methods like Botox. Consult a dentist for laser treatments and a qualified aesthetic practitioner for Botox.
