Gum smile

Descriptions of the conditions

Gum smile, also called Gummy Smile, is characterized by a excessive exposure of the upper gums when smiling. This characteristic is generally safe, but it can create an aesthetic imbalance or discomfort for some people. Gum smile can be mild, moderate, or marked, and is the result of a combination of muscular, dental, or anatomical factors. Professional care allows you to obtain a more harmonious smile while maintaining a natural result.

The causes

A gummy smile can be influenced by several factors:
  • Hyperactivity of the levator muscle of the upper lip, who raises his lip too high when smiling.

  • Vertical excess of the upper jaw (anatomical factor).

  • Naturally short lips or not very mobile.

  • Position of the teeth or gum excess.

  • Genetic predisposition.

How to prevent

Although some causes are anatomical and cannot be modified, a few habits can help maintain a balanced smile:
  • Maintain a good oral hygiene to avoid gum inflammation.

  • Avoid repetitive actions that place excessive stress on the upper lip.

  • Protect skin and lips from the sun to maintain their elasticity.

  • Consult a dentist regularly to monitor gum health.

Recommended treatment

Neuromodulators

Neuromodulators are the reference treatment for correcting muscular gingival smile. Injected in microdoses into the muscles responsible for the excessive lifting of the upper lip, they allow you to:
  • Decrease muscular hyperactivity,

  • Lower the upper lip slightly,

  • reduce gingival exposure,

  • Get a smile more harmoniously, while maintaining a natural appearance.

The treatment is fast, safe and offers visible results in a few days, with an average duration of 3 to 4 months.
