What is Botox for Gummy Smile?
Botox (Botulinum Toxin) is a muscle-relaxing treatment that reduces the elevation of the upper lip, allowing for a more proportionate and natural-looking smile. By strategically injecting small amounts of Botox into the levator muscles of the upper lip, we can gently lower its movement when you smile, preventing excessive gum exposure.
Purpose
A gummy smile is often caused by:
– Overactive upper lip muscles that contract too much when smiling.
– A short upper lip that exposes more gum tissue.
– Excess gum tissue or smaller teeth in proportion to the gums.
Botox offers a non-surgical alternative to correct these by relaxing the upper lip muscles, helping create a harmonious smile without the need for surgery or invasive procedures.
