Gummy Smile
A gummy smile, or excessive gum display when smiling, is a common aesthetic concern that affects facial harmony. When a larger portion of the upper gum is visible when smiling, it can cause insecurity and affect the confidence of those who experience it. The causes of a gummy smile can vary, from overactivity in the muscles that raise the upper lip to an alteration in the position of the teeth or jaw. Fortunately, at Beldon Medical, we offer non-invasive solutions such as botulinum toxin to reduce excessive upper lip elevation, balancing the smile and restoring confidence without the need for surgery.
