A gummy smile occurs when the upper lip lifts excessively, revealing more gum tissue than is deemed desirable. This can be a source of self-consciousness for many people, as the imbalance between teeth and gums may detract from an otherwise attractive smile. Common causes include hyperactivity of the muscles that elevate the upper lip, particularly the levator labii superioris muscle, and, in some cases, the natural shape of the gums or teeth.
Feeling like your smile shows a bit too much gum? That’s more common than you think, and as mentioned, it’s often due to muscle activity in the upper lip. If you want a more balanced look without the extra gum exposure, botulinum toxin offers a quick and easy solution.
Gummy smile anti-wrinkle is a safe and non-surgical solution for reducing the appearance of a gummy smile. By injecting small amounts of the toxin into the muscles that lift the upper lip, we can relax these muscles, allowing the lip to cover more of the gums when you smile. The treatment offers subtle improvements that create a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile without interfering with natural facial expressions.
