Gummy Smile Correction

Simulate gummy smile reduction through crown lengthening, lip repositioning, or Botox injection approaches.

Try SimulatorAll Procedures

Overview

A "gummy smile" — clinically known as excessive gingival display — occurs when more than 3-4mm of gum tissue is visible above the upper teeth during a full smile. It affects approximately 10% of the population and can cause self-consciousness despite having otherwise healthy teeth.

Treatment options depend on the cause: crown lengthening surgery (gingivectomy) reshapes the gum line to expose more tooth surface; lip repositioning surgery limits how high the upper lip rises when smiling; orthognathic surgery corrects underlying skeletal issues; and Botox injections offer a temporary non-surgical option by relaxing the upper lip elevator muscles.

Our simulator models the expected improvement from gummy smile correction, visualizing how gum line reshaping or lip repositioning changes the tooth-to-gum ratio and overall smile aesthetics.

Key Benefits

  • Reduce excessive gum display when smiling
  • Multiple treatment approaches available
  • Quick recovery for most treatment options
  • Dramatically improve smile confidence

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • +Multiple treatment options from minimally invasive to surgical
  • +Laser gum contouring is minimally invasive with immediate results
  • +Reducing excess gum tissue can lower periodontal disease risk
  • +Significant boost in self-confidence and willingness to smile
  • +Can be combined with other dental treatments for a complete makeover

Cons

  • −Gum tissue can sometimes regrow after contouring, requiring retreatment
  • −Surgical options carry risks of pain, swelling, bleeding, and infection
  • −Recovery from surgical correction takes several weeks with dietary restrictions
  • −Botox treatment is temporary (3–4 months) and requires repeat visits
  • −Not recommended for patients with poor dental health or bleeding disorders

Who Is This For?

Patients who feel self-conscious about showing too much gum tissue when they smile, whether due to short teeth, excess gum tissue, or hypermobile upper lip.
