Gummy Smile Correction

What are gummy smile correction?

Do you find yourself showing more gum than teeth when you smile? This can be a common concern, affecting both men and women, and can impact self-confidence.

Gummy smile, also known as excessive gingival display, occurs when a significant amount of gum tissue is visible when smiling. This can be caused by several factors, including:

  • Overactive upper lip muscles
  • Short upper lip
  • Gummy tissue growth


Gummy smile correction utilizes precise injections of Botulinum toxin (Botox), a safe and well-established treatment for various medical and aesthetic purposes. These injections target specific muscles in the upper lip, causing them to relax slightly. This, in turn, reduces the amount of gum tissue displayed when smiling, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
