How is a gummy smile treated?

Gummy smile, also known as gingival smile, is a condition where a large portion of the gums and the entire upper teeth are visible while smiling, potentially affecting a person’s aesthetic appearance.

The treatment with botulinum toxin, used in appropriate doses, is a highly effective method. Sometimes, upper lip filler applications can also be used as support. As it is an advanced botox application, it should be performed by competent physicians to achieve the best results. The gummy smile will improve within 10 days after the treatment. The average duration of the effect, as with other botox applications, is about 4-5 months. The procedure should be repeated at the end of this period.
