GUMMY SMILE CORRECTION

What Is A Gummy Smile?

A gummy smile refers to when a large amount of the upper gums are exposed when smiling. This can sometimes have a negative impact on one's confidence and can be easily treated.

How Can A Gummy Smile Be Corrected?

After an initial consultation to assess suitability, the muscles above the lip are targerted causing them to relax. This results in less of the upper gums being exposed when smiling. It is a great treatment that will help you to smile with confidence again.
