A gummy smile may arise from various factors, such as excessive gum tissue, a short upper lip, or an overly active upper lip muscle.
Options for addressing a gummy smile can involve Botox injections to ease the upper lip muscle, dental procedures like crown lengthening, or orthodontic solutions.
Botox injections can effectively address a gummy smile resulting from an overly active upper lip muscle. Botox works by temporarily paralyzing the muscle, which leads to a reduction in gum visibility when you smile.
