A smile is considered a "gummy smile" if a significant amount of gingival tissue (gums) can be seen as a person smiles. Although a gummy smile is considered a normal variation of human anatomy, many people with gummy smiles are very self-conscious when smiling. Certain pathologic and physiologic conditions, however, cause some individuals' smiles to expose a great deal of gum above the upper front teeth, making them look shorter. Modern cosmetic dentistry procedures offer solutions for people with a gummy smile.

Is a gummy smile a dominant trait?
A gummy smile is not determined by a single dominant trait. It can be influenced by multiple factors, including the shape and size of the gums, teeth, and facial muscles. It is often a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
What do you do for a gummy smile?
There are 3 primary solutions for treating a gummy smile: 1)orthognathic surgery, 2) crown lengthening, 3) lip lowering surgery.Orthognathic surgery is invasive and often requires the jaw to be cut and wired shut for a period of time. Orthognathic surgery is usually very expensive and is only used in the most severe gummy smile cases. This procedure is typically performed by an oral surgeon.Crown lengthening (aka gingivectomy ) is a less invasive procedure that reshapes the gum line to make a more appealling smile. For mild gummy smile cases, crown lengthening can be an effective and affordable solution. This procedure is often performed by a dentist or periodontist.Lip lowering surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that is an increasingly popular solution for gummy smiles. This procedure modifies the position of the lip and surrounding gum tissue to create an attractive smile. This procedure is effective for mild to severe cases of gummy smiles, and has been popularized by Beverly Hills periodontist, Dr. Alex Farnoosh.More information about these procedures can be found on Dr. Farnoosh's website:http://www.thetotalsmile.com/gums/gummy-smile-treatment.cfm

What are the causes of Gummy Smile and what are the treatment options?
A gummy smile is a condition where an excessive amount of gum tissue shows when you smile, making the teeth look smaller than they actually are. It can affect not just the appearance of your smile but also your confidence. Understanding the causes of a gummy smile is essential to determine the right treatment. Some of the common causes include: 1. Excessive Gum Tissue Growth: This can happen due to genetics (inherited traits), poor oral hygiene (leading to gum overgrowth), or even the use of certain medications that cause the gums to swell and cover more of the teeth. 2. Hyperactive Upper Lip: If the muscles controlling the upper lip are too active or strong, they lift the lip higher than usual when smiling, revealing more gum tissue. 3. Short or Worn Teeth: Teeth that are naturally smaller or have become worn down due to grinding or aging can create the illusion of a gummy smile, as the teeth seem shorter in proportion to the gums. 4. Jaw Development Issues: In some cases, the upper jaw may develop excessively, a condition known as vertical maxillary excess (when the upper jaw grows too long), which results in a gummy smile. At Orthosquare Multispecialty Dental Chain, we offer advanced smile correction treatments to address gummy smiles, with solutions tailored to your specific needs: 1. Laser Gum Contouring: A quick, non-invasive procedure that uses a laser to remove excess gum tissue and reshape your gumline, making the teeth appear longer and more proportionate. 2. Orthodontic Treatment: For patients where the alignment of teeth or bite contributes to the gummy smile, orthodontic solutions like braces or clear aligners (such as Invisalign) can reposition the teeth and jaw for a more balanced smile. 3. Lip Repositioning Surgery: If a hyperactive upper lip is the cause, a minor surgical procedure can adjust the lip's position, so it covers more gum tissue and creates a more even smile. 4. Crown Lengthening: This involves exposing more of the tooth structure by trimming away gum tissue, perfect for patients whose teeth are naturally shorter or have been worn down over time. 5. Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery): In more severe cases, surgery to correct the jaw alignment can significantly reduce the appearance of a gummy smile, leading to a more harmonious look. At Orthosquare Multispecialty Dental Chain, we provide expert guidance and customized treatments for each patient. Our smile correction treatments can help you achieve a balanced, confident smile that enhances both your appearance and overall oral health.
