Gums that show when you smile are generally referred to as a gummy smile, which can be aesthetically displeasing in severe cases. It can be treated with corrective surgery or injections, and the doctor will individualize the treatment according to the cause and severity of the smile. Corrective surgery is performed for gummy smiles that are caused by excessive tension in the upper lip lifting muscles. Common surgical procedures include upper lip lengthening techniques, maxillary advancement recession, and surgical removal of the upper lip lifting muscle. The surgical procedure can be used to address excessive tooth exposure, as well as to grow the length of the upper lip, block the upper lip body muscle, and improve the lips. The main injection treatment for an exposed smile is Botox injections. By lowering the upper lip with Botox injections, the upper lip muscles are partially degraded, thus avoiding or minimizing gum exposure. For those who have the need for gum smile treatment, it is recommended to choose a professional and formal medical institution for treatment and follow the doctor’s instructions to take good care of them in order to reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications.
