When some people smile, their upper lip lifts too far above their upper teeth, exposing their gums and producing a ‘Gummy Smile’. There are a few reasons for this. Genetics are mostly to blame for a thicker gum line since it’s caused by a short upper lip, small teeth, or excessive gum tissue, all of which are passed down to you from your parents in your genetic makeup.

Another cause is a hyperactive muscle, which elevates the upper lip. The appearance of a gummy smile may be emphasised by a thin upper lip.

What causes a gummy smile? There are a few reasons:

• Genes: Sometimes, gummy smiles run in families. This could be due to a short upper lip, smaller teeth, or extra gum tissue.
• Muscle activity: An overactive muscle in your upper lip can make it rise too high when you smile, revealing more gum.
• Thin upper lip: If your upper lip is naturally thin, it might make your gum tissue appear more prominent when you smile.

Rippon offers the solution to this problem: gummy smile correction Botox® treatment.

Botox® is widely known for its cosmetic uses, particularly in reducing wrinkles. It also offers effective treatment for gummy smiles. A gummy smile is when a person’s smile shows an excessive amount of gum tissue, which some people find unattractive. Botox® can be an effective and non-invasive solution for this issue.

The primary benefit of using Botox® for a gummy smile is its simplicity. The treatment involves a few small injections in the upper lip. These injections temporarily relax the muscles that cause the upper lip to lift excessively when smiling. As a result, less gum tissue is exposed, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Botox® for gummy smiles can be a life-changing decision. It’s helpful to understand what to expect before and after the treatment to alleviate your concerns and ensure you set realistic expectations:

Before the treatment, you’ll have a consultation with Dr Rippon. During this session, he’ll evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and determine if gummy smile correction Botox® is the right solution for you. If you proceed, the actual procedure is quick, typically lasting 10 to 15 minutes. Small injections of Botox® will be administered into specific muscles of your upper lip to reduce its elevation when you smile.

Immediately after the Botox® injection for a gummy smile, there might be slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, but this usually subsides within a few hours. The discomfort is minimal, allowing you to resume your daily activities right away.

Within a few days, you will start noticing changes, and the full effects will be visible in about two weeks. Your upper lip will relax, showing less gum when you smile. The results will be subtle yet significant, enhancing the natural appearance of your smile.

The effects of Botox® for gummy smiles typically last three to four months. After this period, the muscle activity will gradually return to normal, and you can undergo additional treatments to maintain the desired look.

Overall, Botox® to fix gummy smiles offers a simple, non-surgical solution to achieve a more confident smile with minimal downtime and noticeable results.
