Smile with gums

In an ideal smile, it is desirable that the gums do not appear excessively. If the gums appear over 2 mm when the person smiles, it is mostly a smile with the gums. This situation seriously spoils the harmony of the smile. In people who ‘smile with their gums’ while laughing, a pair of muscles pull on the nasal wing and upper lip. In cases where these muscles are overactive, the upper lip is shortened. If the upper teeth are also short, the gums are more prominent.

3 reasons for Gum Smile:

Excessively mobile upper lip
Insufficiently erupted teeth
More vertical development of the upper jaw than normal

Botox  provides a simple non-surgical solution when it is disturbing that the upper teeth and gums are too visible while smiling, and when it is necessary to close the mouth while smiling. Botox  injection made 3-5 mm from the lateral border of the nose wings to the sides  can cure your ‘smile with gums’ problem. After the numbing cream is applied to the areas to be injected, botox injection is made with a process that takes 5 minutes. Ice can be kept before and after the procedure. There are no restrictions on post-procedure work and the continuation of daily life. The results of this procedure, which does not cause swelling and bruising when applied correctly, begin within 2-3 days. Within 2 weeks, you can observe that your smile is more aesthetic. To ensure the permanence of this method, it should be repeated every 4-8 months.

    • Upper lip rising too high when smiling,
    • No bone deformity in the jaw,
    • No neurological disease,
    • Not pregnant or breastfeeding,

It can be easily applied to people. Botox aesthetics applied for smile aesthetics requires a good knowledge of facial anatomy. However, surgical treatment options should definitely be considered in patients with excessive downward development in the upper jaw and short upper teeth. The effectiveness of this technique in every person who has a complaint of laughing with gums depends on the doctor’s examination and the correct diagnosis.
