Gummy Smile
Softening a gummy smile
A gummy smile occurs when the muscles around the upper lip are relatively strong, causing more gum tissue to become visible when smiling. For some people this is not a concern, while for others it may affect self-confidence or comfort when smiling.
Procedure
Benefits & results
A treatment can help relax the muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip excessively. By reducing muscle activity in this area, less gum tissue becomes visible when smiling, while the natural movement of the lips is maintained.
The treatment is subtle, quick and minimally invasive, and does not require surgery.
The degree of change depends on the individual anatomy and muscle activity.
