The appearance of our gums when we smile is called Gummy Smile and its treatment is called gummy smile botox. Our gums can affect our smile. Showing more gums while smiling is not aesthetic. Correction of a gingival smile is a common complaint of patients seeking improvement in their aesthetic appearance. Prolonged exposure to gums or excess gum display during a smile is often considered uncomfortable and distracting. A smile is unattractive when exposed to more than 4mm of gingiva. Women tend to have the appearance of gums more often than men. A beautiful smile is one that creates a harmonious and balanced appearance. Your teeth, gums and lips should be perfectly proportioned from an aesthetic point of view.
Most people think that botox is only for erasing the lines around the eyes and eyebrows, or for masseter therapy that treats the chin muscle, but it has many more uses that can improve both appearance and quality of life. Botox is known as a neuromodulator that works to block the nerve messages sent from the brain to the muscles, and the ingredient that provides this is botulinum toxin. Exaggerated upper tooth structure and lip shape can cause excessive exposure of the upper gingiva. Gummy smile botox will partially paralyze the muscles that cause retraction in the lip. The result will be a more beautiful and attractive smile.
What Causes Gummy Smile?
There are several reasons for this smile situation. Make sure it's not a genetic problem.
The most important reason is gingival enlargement or vertical maxillary excess. This is the case of excessive growth of the upper jaw in the vertical direction. It leaves the spaces between the upper lips and causes the gums to be exposed when smiling. However, wrong tooth angle, thick gingival tissue and short upper lip are also prominent reasons for this unexpected smile.
How does Gummy Smile Botox work?
You may not have heard of it, but Botox is actually a great way to relieve many aesthetic concerns about your smile. Although it is generally used to remove fine lines and wrinkles in the facial tissue, the only method to correct a smile that exposes the gums is the Gummy smile botox application. It works by relaxing the muscles in the upper lip and allows the upper lip to cover the gum tissue effectively without hindering the smile and lip movements. Thus, when you smile, only your teeth become visible, not your gums. You should wait 10 to 15 days to notice improvement. However, full results may take 3 weeks or perhaps less than that.
Usually 2-3 sessions are sufficient. Each contains one or two units of Botox, which is sufficient for smaller areas. Additional applications may be suggested in case you want more unique changes.

By preventing these muscles from contracting and tightening, the skin will appear flatter, smoother and less wrinkled overall.
