Causes of Gummy Smile

  • Overactive muscles that lift the upper lip, making the gums more visible when smiling.
  • Excessive gum tissue growth (gingival hyperplasia).
  • Small or unevenly shaped teeth.
  • The upper jaw being positioned too high.
  • Genetics, as gummy smiles often run in families.

Our team at Dr. Ali Cosmetics can assess your situation and recommend the best treatment to suit your needs.

Quick answers to questions you may have

A gummy smile is when 2-4mm of gum tissue is visible above the upper teeth while smiling. It can be caused by genetics, gum overgrowth, or overly active lip elevator muscles.

Common causes include overactive muscles around the upper lip, gum overgrowth, jaw structure, and the size or shape of teeth. Genetics also play a role.

Yes, it can. Muscle relaxant injections are a simple, effective in-clinic treatment.

It depends on the cause. Children’s jaw structures develop until their late teens, so assessments later in life provide better insight.

After assessing your needs, we apply numbing cream, clean the area, and deliver precise injections to relax the overactive muscles. The process is quick and virtually painless.

Results from muscle relaxant injections last 3-4 months on average, with some patients noticing effects for longer periods.

The treatment is safe and well-tolerated. Mild bruising or temporary asymmetry may occur in rare cases. Any minor issues typically resolve within a few weeks.
