Gummy Smile Treatment

Gum contouring: This procedure removes excess gum tissue and reshapes the gum line to achieve a more harmonious and proportionate smile. Typically, advanced techniques like laser or electrocautery are utilized for this purpose.

Lip repositioning: This technique involves making a small incision in the upper lip to release the tight muscle responsible for excessive elevation during smiling.

Orthodontic intervention: If a gummy smile is attributed to dental misalignment, orthodontic treatments such as braces or clear aligners may be recommended to realign the teeth and enhance smile aesthetics.

Jaw surgery: In certain instances, correcting a gummy smile stemming from underlying skeletal irregularities may necessitate surgical intervention on the jaw.

Determining the most suitable treatment for your gummy smile involves considering factors such as the underlying cause, the extent of the condition, and your individual preferences and financial considerations.
