A "gummy smile" refers to a condition in which the teeth show more than normal or the gums are excessively visible. There may be several reasons for this: Gum overgrowth, short upper lip, excessive gum tissue or shorter teeth than normal. This condition can create aesthetic concerns and may result in dissatisfaction with the person's smile.
Which Treatment Options Can Correct Gummy Smile?
Gum aesthetics: Excess gum is corrected with surgical applications or laser.
Orthodontic treatments: Gummy smile can be corrected by correcting the position of the teeth.
