What Is a Gummy Smile?
A gummy smile occurs when excessive muscle activity causes the upper lip to lift too high when smiling, exposing more gum tissue than desired.
Muscle relaxing injections gently reduce the activity of these muscles, allowing the upper lip to sit in a more balanced position when smiling. The aim is not to change your smile, but to create a more proportionate and harmonious appearance.
