What is a Gummy Smile?

A gummy smile, also known as excessive gingival display, occurs when more than 3-4 millimetres of gum tissue shows above the upper teeth when smiling. This can be due to:

Overactive upper lip muscles: These muscles contract excessively, pulling the upper lip higher than normal and exposing more gum tissue.
Excessive gum tissue: Naturally more gum tissue can overshadow the teeth.
Small or short teeth: Teeth that appear shorter can make the gums look more prominent.
Jaw alignment issues: The structure or position of the upper jaw may contribute to a gummy smile.

What is Gummy Smile Treatment at QC Skin Clinic?

At QC Skin Clinic, we offer an advanced gummy smile treatment using gummy smile injections to reduce the amount of visible gum tissue when you smile. This simple and minimally invasive procedure uses small amounts of anti-wrinkle injections to relax the overactive muscles that elevate the upper lip. By softening these muscles, the upper lip covers more of the gums, creating a balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.

How Does Gummy Smile Injection Work?

Gummy smile injections target the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi (LLSAN) muscle, responsible for lifting the upper lip. In cases of a gummy smile, this muscle over-contracts, exposing too much gum tissue. By carefully administering muscle relaxants into the LLSAN muscle, the upper lip is gently lowered, reducing gum visibility and achieving a more proportionate smile.
