Gummy Smile

Some people feel that when they smile they show too much of their gums

​

Occasionally, the gummy smile is also aggravated by a thin upper lip that further contributes to the problem by exposing the upper gum even more. Fortunately, gummy smile can be simply and effectively corrected with muscle relaxer injections to reduce the activity of the muscle that elevates the upper lip.
