Gummy smile is an aesthetic problem where the gums are too visible during the smile. This may occur because the upper teeth are covered with more gums than normal or the upper jaw is too long. Gummy smile is an aesthetic concern for most people and can affect the self-confidence of individuals by preventing the teeth from looking properly.
Gummy smile treatment can be performed with surgical or non-surgical procedures to reshape the gums. Surgical procedures include methods such as gingivectomy (reshaping the gums by cutting them) and laser-assisted gingivectomy. Non-surgical treatments may include Botox injections, filling applications and orthodontic treatments.
Gummy smile treatment, remember that individuals should consult a dentist or periodontist to determine how visible the gums are and which treatment method is most appropriate. In addition, regular tooth brushing, flossing and dental care and taking care of gum health can help prevent gummy smile formation.
