Major Gummy Smile

Minor Gummy Smile is a condition that affects 10% of young Adults (Ages 20-35). It is caused by a variety of factors including excess gum covering the teeth due to an abnormal eruption of the teeth, an excess of maxillary jaw bone, a short upper lip or a "Hyperactive" upper lip that retracts too much during full smile.

However, a gummy smile can be also related to a serious dental condition. In fact, an improper bite due to an excessive protrusion of the upper jaw affects your long-term oral health.

Nowadays, gummy smile can be fixed through various treatments. Depending on the case, different treatment options maybe available, of which are:

  • laser gummy smile surgery: is a same-day treatment that offers you immediate result. The procedure is painless, requires no sutures, and gum tissue heals within a few days.
  • laser lip repositioning surgery: removes specific tissue attached to the inside of the upper lip, restricting its proper movement. The patient will have an aesthetic smile that will now expose a proper amount of gum tissue.
  • orthodontic treatment: in this procedure the orthodontist will guide the patient's teeth upwards. The upward movement of the front teeth (intrusion of anterior teeth) will cause a bone resorption and gum will follow the bone. This will result in the normal remodeling of the structure around the teeth.
  • orthognathic surgery: this procedure decreases the height of the upper jaw by immobilizing the bone with mini-plates. Orthodontic treatment (braces) along with this surgery is usually needed. The patient will be followed by two specialists, a surgeon and an orthodontist.
