Gummy Smile

Gummy smile makeover

A gummy smile is the excessive show of gum above the top teeth when smiling. Most often, the causes of gummy smiles are genetic, as during the growth of permanent teeth, sometimes there's an overgrowth of gum tissue. This condition can also be exacerbated when we possess the following features like a short upper lip, a hyperactive upper lip that lifts too high while smiling, small teeth compared to gums, and an overgrowth of the upper jaw. Treatments for this condition are Botulinum Toxin type A and lip fillers. 

Treatment Options

Botulinum Toxin type A Treatment

Botulinum Toxin are toxins injected into the body in small doses to temporarily relax the muscle. Small doses of Botulinum toxin such as those used in cosmetics are safe. It earned the approval of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for optional treatment of wrinkles in 1989, and botulinum toxin type A was also later approved by FDA in 2002. This treatment works by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles, making the injected muscle unable to contract. As a result, it makes conditions such as wrinkles relax and soften. Because of their aesthetic benefits, it has become one of the most commonly used treatments in cosmetics. Botulinum injections can be harmful in the hands of an amateur injector, that's why it's incredibly important to seek a credible aesthetician when performing the treatments.

Lip Fillers

A lip filler is a dermal filler we use to describe that is injected into the lips gives some volume. There are many types of dermal fillers that can be injected into your lips and around your mouth but the most common fillers are hyaluronic acid fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule and is a naturally occurring substance found in the body. With this, it can be guaranteed to be safe, whilst also bringing volume to your lips. People usually get lip fillers when they have problems with the size of their lips, or on how gums are visible when they smile. Lip fillers can help correct these conditions as it is targeted in increasing the lip volume and therefore can correct the undesirable lip size or the visibility of their gums. Lip dermal fillers can also be used to improve the definition of certain parts of the lips to make them more symmetrical.
