Understanding the Causes of a Gummy Smile
There are several common causes that can cause a gummy smile.
- In some cases, a gummy smile can be a family trait.
- If the upper lip is shorter, then that can also lead to show more of an upper gum while talking and smiling.
- In the case of gingival hyperplasia, due to some medications that treat poor oral hygiene, gum tissues can overgrow around the teeth.
- When the growth of your teeth is different and unusual.
- In a condition called dentoalveolar extrusion, the front teeth grow far too rapidly with chances that gums too have grown a lot with them.
- A gummy smile can be caused by the altered passive eruption where the teeth’s surface is covered with gums.
- A condition called vertical maxillary excess can also be a cause for a gummy smile. Bones of the upper jaw grow longer than their expected length in this condition which can lead to a gummy smile.
Treating a Gummy Smile: Your Options
There are many surgical and non-surgical options available to treat a gummy smile. In surgical procedures, there are options like Orthognathic surgery, lip repositioning, gum lift and in non-surgical procedures, options are botox, orthodontics (braces), TAD, hyaluronic acid fillers.
Board Certified Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Ashish Davalbhakt of Advanced Aesthetics, Pune uses a non-surgical procedure called botox as a treatment. As botox treatment is less invasive, cheaper, and reversible, many people prefer it.
