SYMPTOMS
TREATMENT

A gummy smile can effect your confidence when smiling. If you have a gummy smile, you will notice when you have an open smile, an excessive appearance of the gums as the upper lip is lifted. This can make your upper lip look flat or thin or your teeth appear smaller than they are.

Gummy smiles are usually genetic or due to a hyperactive upperlip causing your lip to move higher than normal, exposing too much gum. They can also be caused by when the teeth erupted, they didn’t erupt fully and are their enamel is still covered by gum tissue.

A gummy smile can be reduced at Bodyvie be injecting the muscles above the lip with anti-wrinkle injections such as Botox to reduce movement of the upper lip to reveal less of the gums while smiling.

"I simply cannot rate this place highly enough. I’d give it 10 stars if I could. All the staff at Body-vie are friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable. Dr Weber is someone with whom I trust implicitly. I went to another local aesthetics clinic before this one for a consultation and walked out feeling disheartened and very confused, I was made to feel like I needed to spend a lot of cash in order to get the desired result.
