Who Needs Gummy Smile Correction?
A gummy smile occurs when excessive gum tissue shows above your teeth. This creates a disproportionate appearance.
Here are some common causes:
- Excessive gum tissue: Too much soft tissue covering your teeth
- High lip line: A naturally short upper lip
- Small teeth or altered tooth eruption: Teeth that appear shorter due to their position or gum coverage
- Jawbone irregularities: Structural issues with the upper jaw
