Take Your Smile From Gummy to Gorgeous
A gummy smile, characterized by an excessive display of gum tissue when smiling, can affect your self-esteem and overall smile aesthetics. Fortunately, our team offers personalized treatment options to address gummy smiles and create a beautifully balanced smile you’ll be proud to share.
Let's explore how gummy smile treatment can transform your smile and boost your confidence:
Understanding Gummy Smiles
A gummy smile occurs when an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible above the teeth when smiling. While it’s a common concern for many individuals, it can vary in severity and may be caused by several factors, including:
- Excessive Gum Tissue:Some people naturally have more gum tissue covering their teeth, leading to a gummy smile.
- Overgrowth of the Upper Jaw: An overgrowth of the upper jaw can cause the gums to protrude, creating the appearance of a gummy smile.
- Shorter Teeth: If your teeth appear shorter than average due to wear, genetics, or other factors, it can contribute to a gummy smile.
Personalized Gummy Smile Treatment Options
At Bocklet Orthodontics, we offer personalized treatment options to address gummy smiles and create a harmonious balance between your teeth and gums. Depending on the underlying cause of your gummy smile, we may recommend one or more of the following treatment options:
- Gummy Smile Orthodontic Treatment: In many cases, orthodontic treatment, such as braces or clear aligners can be used in conjunction with TADs (Temporary Anchorage Devices) to correct gummy smile non surgically.
- Laser Gum Contouring: Also known as gum reshaping or gingivectomy, gum contouring involves removing excess gum tissue to reveal more of the tooth’s surface and create a more proportionate smile. We love doing this procedure for our patients, because it can reveal the true beauty of their teeth.
- Lip Repositioning with Botox: For cases where the upper lip is hyperactive and lifts excessively when smiling, lip repositioning with Botox therapy can help limit the amount of gum tissue exposed, creating a more balanced smile.
- Surgical Jaw Correction: In severe cases of gummy smiles caused by jaw abnormalities, surgical jaw correction may be necessary to reposition the upper jaw and improve the overall balance of the face.
