overview

A gummy smile occurs when an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible above the teeth when smiling. This can happen due to hyperactive upper lip muscles or a naturally short upper lip. Botox offers an effective, non-surgical solution by relaxing the muscles that lift the upper lip, reducing the amount of gum exposure and providing a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, with results typically noticeable within a few days. While Botox alone can significantly improve a gummy smile, combining it with lip fillers may enhance the overall effect, adding volume and definition to the lips for a more harmonious smile. The dual treatment can deliver more long-lasting and dramatic results, depending on individual needs.
