But sometimes this smile shows more gum than desired. This is known as the &#8220;gummy smile&#8221;. It is neither a flaw nor a health concern, but it can be aesthetically disturbing for some of us. In just under 10% of people between the ages of 20 and 30, the gums are more than 2mm visible when smiling. There are many causes and your genetics usually play an important role.<\/p>\n<p>But does that mean you have to accept a gummy smile if it bothers you? No. Medicine has a lot to offer here.

But why?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lip movement:<\/strong> The upper lip can be raised excessively high in some people when they smile. This is mainly due to strong activity of the levator labii superioris muscle, zygomaticus major muscle and levator anguli oris muscle. These are all muscles that are responsible for lifting the upper lip.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Position of the gums:<\/strong> Excessive growth of the upper jaw can lead to more gums becoming visible. The gums may also be more visible due to inflammation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shape and length of the teeth:<\/strong> If the teeth are naturally short or have become shorter over the course of life due to wear and tear, the gums may appear more dominant. In addition, teeth that are only partially covered by the gums can cause a gummy smile.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Genetics:<\/strong> As with many other physical characteristics, a Gummy Smile can also run in families.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bone structure:<\/strong> The position and shape of the upper jaw and the alveolar process (the area of bone where the teeth sit) can affect the appearance of the gums when smiling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Important: Often none of these factors alone cause a gummy smile.

Medicine and aesthetics go hand in hand here. Depending on the exact cause, there are different methods to protect your gums from unwanted glances. Some of these approaches are non-invasive, while others are surgical in nature.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Botox can relax the muscles that lift your upper lip too much. For more permanent results, gum correction or even jaw surgery could be considered. Incidentally, we also make use of the muscle-relaxing effect of Botox in the treatment of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goaesthetic.at\/en\/forehead-wrinkles\/\">forehead wrinkles<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goaesthetic.at\/en\/crows-feet\/\">crow&#8217;s feet<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goaesthetic.at\/en\/frown-line\/\">frown lines<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But be careful: before you focus on a solution, please talk to a specialist about it. Botox injections often bring you closer to a harmonious smile than you think.
