A gummy smile is when excessive gum tissue is visible when you smile. This condition can cause self-consciousness, making people feel less confident. It typically occurs due to an overactive upper lip muscle or excess gum tissue. Whether it’s due to genetics or muscle activity, a gummy smile can be easily corrected with treatments like Botox or lip fillers. A gummy smile can affect both the appearance of your teeth and overall facial aesthetics.
Excessive gingival display occurs when too much gum tissue is exposed when smiling. This type is often caused by a short upper lip that elevates too much, revealing more of the gums than normal. It results in the appearance of smaller teeth and can make the smile look uneven or disproportionate.
A hyperactive lip muscle causes the upper lip to lift higher than usual, exposing excessive gum tissue when smiling. This type is due to an overactive muscle controlling the upper lip’s movement. The upper lip appears to be “overactive” and pulls back further than necessary, leading to a gummy smile.
Vertical maxillary excess occurs when the upper jaw is elongated, causing more gum tissue to show when smiling. This type is often related to the positioning of the teeth or jaw and creates an unbalanced smile. It can result in noticeable gum exposure and may require surgical or non-surgical treatments for correction.

Botox is the most popular treatment for gummy smile correction. By injecting Botox for gummy smiles, we target the muscles responsible for elevating the upper lip, creating a more balanced and relaxed smile.
Lip fillers are used to enhance the volume of the lips, which in turn reduces the visibility of the gums when smiling. This simple treatment can balance facial proportions, creating a fuller, more harmonious smile.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty can also impact the appearance of the upper lip and smile. By adding volume and altering the projection of the nose, the aesthetic balance of the face can be improved, which may reduce the perception of a gummy smile.
