Types of Gummy Smiles
Genetic Gummy Smile
Inherited traits can lead to a higher gum line, which becomes more visible when smiling.
Hyperactive Muscle Gummy Smile
Overactive muscles in the upper lip can cause it to rise higher than usual, exposing more gum tissue.
Factors Contributing to a Gummy Smile
Ageing
As we age, changes in facial muscles can lead to an increased visibility of the gums.
Genetics
The natural shape and size of your gums and teeth, inherited from your parents, play a crucial role in the appearance of your smile.
Dental Conditions
Misaligned teeth or improper jaw development can contribute to the appearance of a gummy smile.
Lip Size and Mobility
The size and movement of your upper lip can significantly affect how much gum is shown.
Effective Strategies to Address Gummy Smiles

This surgical procedure involves reshaping the gum line to create a more balanced smile.
Lip Lowering
The upper lip is repositioned to reduce the amount of gum shown when smiling.
Orthodontics
Braces and other orthodontic treatments can realign the teeth and potentially reduce the appearance of a gummy smile.
