Understanding a Gummy Smile
A gummy smile occurs when a significant portion of the gum is visible above the top teeth while smiling. This can be due to several factors: including genetics, excessive gum tissue, or the way your upper lip moves.
-
GENETICS
Some people naturally have shorter upper lips, longer upper jaws, or smaller teeth, which can make gums more visible when smiling. -
EXCESSIVE GUM TISSUE
Extra gum coverage over the teeth can create the appearance of a gummy smile, even if the teeth and lips are proportionate. -
UPPER LIP MOVEMENT
An overactive muscle in the upper lip can lift it too high when smiling, exposing more gum than usual.
