Gummy Smile

Smile whenever you feel like it

When you smile does it feel like your upper teeth are too small because of the amount of gum area shown? If the answer to this question is ‘yes’, it is possible that you suffer from what is called a ‘gummy smile’, where the upper lip is raised to reveal too much of the gums during smiling. Gummy smiles can have an adverse effect on your willingness to smile and hence your sense of self-esteem. The good news is that it can be corrected with a variety of treatments. As the causes can be diverse, it is very important that a multidisciplinary team that brings together the expertise of a maxillofacial doctor, a dentist and a plastic surgeon, studies each case to diagnose the right treatment. At Øne we believe this is the most effective and responsible way to guarantee complete success.
