  1. Gummy Smiles - We Can Fix it! Smiles can make your eyes crinkle and signal a beautiful shine on your face. A smile can establish a real human connection and light up the face. However, some smiles can be affected by a condition called gummy Smiles. It is a condition where a smile reveals excessive gums or gingival display. Personal aesthetics play a large part in getting the smile fixed in a dental treatment clinic Mumbai. Many people consider their smiles have an excessive gingival display. Although many people have gummy smiles, they have no fixed definition. The condition happens in the eyes of the beholder and the perception of the gumline. Gummy smiles can happen by: ● Shape of teeth ● Height of your teeth ● Movement of lips during your smile ● Angular movement of the jaw.

  2. However, three to four millimetres of display of your gums is considered a gummy smile. Treatment of Gummy Smile Oral Surgery A family dental care in Mumbai can recommend a gingivectomy to contour the gums. It also involves the removal of the excessive gum tissue by a periodontist or an oral surgeon. An advanced dental care Mumbai will use local anaesthesia to numb the pain, while a surgeon will use a scalpel to reshape the gums. Periodontists also use a laser to remove extra gums in multiple sessions. Your gums will bleed and feel sore for a week after the surgery. Lip Repositioning Lips are also the cause of a gummy smile. If your gummy smile comes from your lips, a dental treatment clinic Mumbai will recommend lip Repositioning surgery. The surgery will change the structure of your lips to match it with your gums. A connective tissue underneath the upper lip is removed to prevent the lip muscles from being lifted too high above the teeth. You will be under local anaesthesia during the surgery while a periodontist makes incisions underneath your upper lip. The dental surgeon removes the connective tissue and stitches the incisions. The procedure lasts an hour, and your advanced dental care Mumbai will prescribe you antibiotics. Although the recovery takes around two weeks, lip Repositioning surgery will last you a lifetime. Orthognathic Surgery You can opt for orthognathic Surgery if you have a gummy smile due to your jaw. A family dental care in Mumbai will balance the length of your jaws to get rid of the excessive gingival display. An expert oral surgeon will explain to you the approach to the treatment. An orthodontist and a maxillofacial surgeon will recommend you wear braces to ensure that the arches are aligned appropriately. X-ray scans will determine the problem areas in the jaw. A section of bone from the upper jaw will be removed for balance and reattached with screws. If the lower jaw is the problem, it will also be balanced in the surgery. Your oral surgeon at advance dental care Mumbai will monitor you for four days; the healing typically takes six weeks. After the surgery, your surgeon will position your jaw with elastics. Temporary Anchorage Devices A temporary anchorage device (TAD) can also be recommended by your family dental care in Mumbai if you do not want surgery. The tiny screws implanted into the bone will pull your teeth and reduce a gummy smile. An oral surgeon can put the TAD into place using local anaesthesia.

  3. Botox You can also succeed with your gummy smile procedure through botulinum toxin or botox. A botox will paralyse the elevator muscles to see a difference in your smiles. Botox is also cheaper and less intrusive when compared to other treatments. However, you must repeat the botox fillers every three to four months. A dental treatment clinic Mumbai can safely inject botox with ease. Hyaluronic Acid Hypermobile lips also cause gummy smiles. Therefore, hyaluronic acid can restrict the movement of lips for a year and correct gummy smiles. However, any leading dental care in Mumbai won’t recommend injecting hyaluronic acid as the blood supply can be damaged. Damaged blood supply will lead to tissue loss, heart stroke, and blindness. In addition, hyaluronic acid can react with the body’s immune system to form granuloma. However, hyaluronic acid fillers are cheaper than surgical options. Final Thoughts A gummy smile is caused by an excessive gingival display and decreases your self-confidence. A family dental care in Mumbai can restore your beautiful smile through a plethora of options available at your fingertips. Even though many non-invasive procedures are available for you, you must consult with your oral surgeon before fixating a solution. It is time to be confident about your smile and make the world a delightful place.
