Understanding Gummy Smile Characteristics
Gummy smile correction refers to evaluating the factors that cause excessive gum visibility when smiling. These factors may include gum level, tooth length, lip mobility, bite characteristics or skeletal structure. Before considering any treatment concept, the dentist performs a detailed clinical examination supported by photographs, soft-tissue measurements and functional assessments. Each case may require a different approach depending on the anatomical cause. Suitability and planning are defined only after diagnostics and individualized evaluation by the licensed dentist.
A gummy smile refers to a smile where more gum tissue is visible than usual. Its causes vary and must be identified during examination.
Photographs, soft-tissue measurements, lip movement evaluation and bite analysis help determine the underlying reason for the appearance.
No. Treatment concepts differ depending on whether the cause is related to gum levels, tooth shape, lip mobility or skeletal factors.
Anatomical structure, gum health, functional patterns and facial proportions are considered before deciding if a specific correction method may be appropriate.
Not necessarily. Whether a non-surgical or surgical concept is suitable is determined only after clinical evaluation by the licensed dentist.
Providing dental history, attending diagnostic appointments and sharing aesthetic expectations helps create an accurate assessment.
