A beautiful smile isn’t just about your teeth; how your gums look matters too. When the gums under the upper lip are visible by more than 2-3 mm while speaking or smiling, it’s called a Gummy Smile (Gum-Exposing Smile).
There are many surgical methods for Gummy Smile treatment. However, for patients who don’t want surgery, one of the most preferred options—free of side effects and offering quick results—is botulinum toxin (Botox) injection into the relevant muscle group.
