What is the gummy smile?

The gummy smile is characterized by a excessive gum exposure when smiling, which can affect the aesthetics of the smile and the person's self-esteem. The amount of gum that is considered "normal" when smiling varies from person to person, but it is generally accepted that it should not exceed 2-3 millimeters.

Causes of gummy smile:

The causes of a gummy smile are diverse:

Excessive growth of gingival tissue.
Short upper lip.
Excessive growth of the upper jaw.
Altered passive eruption of the tooth.
Genetic factors: Genetic predisposition plays an important role in the appearance of the gummy smile.
Abnormal tooth eruption: It can cause the teeth to not cover the gums properly.
Periodontal disease: Inflammation of the gums can increase their size and make them appear more prominent.
Short upper lip: An upper lip that does not sufficiently cover the teeth when smiling can contribute to a gummy smile.

Treatment options for gummy smile:

At Clínica Aesophy, we offer an individualized approach to gummy smile correction, selecting the most appropriate technique for each particular case:

Gingivectomy: It consists of removing excess gingival tissue through a surgical procedure.
Coronary lengthening: A small cut is made in the gum to further expose the tooth and reduce the amount of visible gum.
Orthodontics: In some cases, orthodontics can help correct the position of the teeth and improve the aesthetics of the smile.
Neuromodulators: It can be used to relax the upper lip muscle and reduce its exposure when smiling.
