Gummy Smile Botox

Botox injections can be an effective remedy to a gummy smile, also known as excessive gingival – when you smile and too much gum tissue shows above the top teeth.

WHAT IS A GUMMY SMILE & WHAT CAUSES IT?

Gummy Smile is a term for when a persons upper lip elevates too far above their upper teeth, which then reveals more gum tissue that desired. It is usually caused by an overactive muscle in the top lip, which raises the lip higher when smiling. It can also be down to a thin top lip.

How does botox help treat a gummy smile?

Small amounts of botox are injected into various places in the upper lip to relax the muscle and thereby reducing the overactivity.
