Gummy Smile
Face Concerns
Understanding the Gummy Smile - Causes and Treatment Options: A gummy smile, medically known as excessive gingival display, occurs when an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible above the upper teeth when smiling. While some gum exposure is natural, an excessive display can affect self-confidence and social interactions.
What Causes a Gummy Smile?
Several factors contribute to a gummy smile:
Excessive Lip Elevation: When smiling, the upper lip rises too high, revealing excess gum tissue.
Hyperactive Lip Muscles: Overactive muscles that lift the lip can exacerbate the issue.
Short Upper Lip: A naturally short upper lip may not adequately cover the gums.
Excessive Gum Tissue: Genetics, gum disease, or other oral health issues can result in excess gum tissue.
Impact on Well-being
A gummy smile can have significant psychological and emotional effects, including:
Self-consciousness: Individuals may feel embarrassed about their smile.
Social Anxiety: Concerns about appearance can lead to social avoidance.
Negative Self-perception: A gummy smile can negatively affect how individuals view themselves.
