GUMMY SMILE
Why have Gummy Smile Treatment?
The prominence of gum tissue on smiling results from the elevation of the upper lip by muscles called the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi. This can sometimes be a source of embarrassment when smiling in front of others. Often people claim to avoid smiling in photos to avoid feeling self conscious, or being unable to fully close the mouth.
What can be done?
Small dosages of Botulinum Toxin can simply be injected into the top half of the muscle to relax it allowing it to slightly drop.
