In some individuals , owing to hyperactive muscles of the upper lip, the gums become exposed while smiling. This is known as GUMMY smile and it lends an unattractive quality to one’s personality. People with gummy smile are extremely self conscious about it and often refrain from smiling publicly and while getting their pictures clicked. It adversely impacts one’s social, professional, and personal interaction with others.
BUT THERE IS NO REASON TO DESPAIR!!A simple 2 minute office procedure can fix GUMMY smile effectively.
In this procedure, small amounts of botulinum toxin are injected into the muscles between the upper lip and nose so as to relax these muscles and decrease the elevation of the upper lip over the teeth while smiling. The results become apparent within 3-5 days and last for about four to six months. The procedure is completely safe when done by a well trained dermatologist.
