Gum exposure when smiling can be caused by short upper lip tie, overdevelopment of the maxilla, overgumming of the upper front teeth, etc. Depending on the situation, we can choose upper lip tie surgery, maxillary osteotomy, or removal of overgumming.
1. Short upper lip tie: The upper lip tie can be lengthened through surgery to improve the situation of exposed gums when smiling.
2. Overdeveloped maxilla: Orthognathic surgery can be performed in regular hospitals to lift up the maxilla, and the situation of exposed gums when smiling will be significantly improved.
3. Gums of the upper front teeth are too long: the gums are removed through surgery under local anesthesia, and after the surgery, the doctor’s instructions are strictly adhered to in order to prevent the occurrence of postoperative infections.
There may be other reasons for the gums to show when you smile, go to the hospital in time, after clarifying the cause of the disease and actively treat it, in order to restore the facial aesthetics.
