Smiling with gums exposed, also known as gingival smile, can be corrected through orthodontic treatment, crown lengthening surgery, orthognathic surgery, according to the specific circumstances of the corresponding treatment.
1. Certain malocclusions, such as bimaxillary protrusion, bimaxillary protrusion, deep coverage of the front teeth, deep overjet, etc., can lead to a gummy smile, which can be corrected by orthodontic treatment, depressing the crowns, and at the same time retracting the teeth to reduce the height of gingival attachment.
2. For patients with gingival smile caused by insufficient eruption to shorten the teeth and obvious incongruity between the length and width of the teeth, crown lengthening is feasible. That is, through surgical methods, lower the gingival margin position, expose the healthy tooth structure, make the clinical crown extension, so as to solve the aesthetic problem.
3. For severe gingival smiles that are difficult to correct using conventional methods, orthognathic surgery is required to adjust the jaw position for good correction.
It is recommended that the dentist visit the clinic to determine the specific treatment plan.
