A gummy smile, medically known as excessive gingival display, is a condition where a disproportionate amount of gum tissue is visible above the teeth when smiling. This can affect the overall aesthetics of a person’s smile, leading to self-consciousness and a lack of confidence.
At FACEMED, we offer a highly effective solution for gummy smiles using muscle relaxants. This minimally invasive treatment helps reduce the appearance of excessive gums, enhancing the natural beauty of your smile. If you’re ready to transform your smile and boost your confidence, contact us today to schedule a consultation.
Several factors can contribute to the appearance of a gummy smile:
Some individuals are naturally predisposed to having more visible gum tissue.
An overactive upper lip can lift higher than normal when smiling, exposing more gum tissue.
Short or worn teeth can make the gums appear more prominent.
An excessive vertical growth of the upper jaw can lead to more gum exposure.
If the teeth have not erupted properly, more gum tissue may be visible.
At FACEMED, we specialise in treating gummy smiles using muscle relaxants. This procedure involves the careful injection of Botulinum Toxin Type A (aka BOTOX®) into the muscles of the upper lip. The muscle relaxants work by reducing the activity of the muscles that lift the upper lip excessively, thereby minimising gum exposure when you smile. This treatment is quick, virtually painless, and requires no downtime, making it a convenient option for those looking to enhance their smile.
